Notice the waterline at the windows. My goal has always been to get it as high as possible without compromizing on operation. When I originally started this build I used wood blocks to cradle the WTC 5/8" off of the floor of the inner hull. Recently it occured to me that I think I could improve on this by lowering the WTC further into the hull so that it would be only 1/8" above the bottom. I believe this will make some improvement but I dont know how much. This will be the next step in the chain. Any takers on how much of an actual improvement that I will see in raising the waterline???

Oh what a Grandiose scheme! And what a noble effort! However it was not to be! I store quite a bit of RC in a storage unit until needed. I showed up there Thursday night to pick up the Seaview. Got it home and opened it up and UH OH! The add on weight that is used to ballast the boat would not allow lowering the WTC! I didnt think about that and I need the weight right where it is, it cant be moved! DAGNABIT!!! Now I said a bad word.
