In Response To: Sure, but it will sit deeper in the water (Paul G. Jacobson)
Gee, thanks Paul! Now I'll be able to do hull design in my head on those long drives across the state.
: I always "ballpark" the displacement by assuming the boat is made
: in straight lines, diamond shaped, and symmetrical. Of course few boats
: are made this way, but I get a close enough estimate of the displacement
: with some simple math.
