    Default What is a MOD VP bottom...

    Twice today, I was asked that question...and I didn't mention it...

    A MOD VP bottom is a tunnel bottom with a center "POD" as deep as or deeper than the two outside runners... Basically, a MOD VP is a TRI HULL!!!!!

    Maybe, that is why I like that TRI HULL CLASS....

    Looked for my tri hull today, the guy I left it with can't remember where he left it!!!!

    Default Here is a MOD VP bottom...

    I built a 12 foot C runabout for APBA Racing out of glass...she was heavy as al get out, especially in the nose....So, for the second one, I made a Mod VP bottom, and this boat was heavy everywhere....with a 40 Tohatsu and a nose cone with bottomw water pick up, we did lead the first Parker Mini Enduro with this boat...
