John ,
Bidarkas do come into water differently because of the bifercated bow. They split the water ahead of them the same way a bow bulb on a ship does. The bow point then takes an incoming wave that gives the boat lift. So its a drier boat anddoesn't bog down when breaking deep.

THe SS is fast for a number of reasons but part of it is the LOa to beam ratio and it being low volume

Sounds like you better turn that dream into reality and soon or you'll never get any sleep.
