I'm on my dad's account, and and I've gotta do a science fair project. My topic is, "Does the type of hull on a boat affect its speed?" So, I've got some information from him, but on most of the stuff he's only got a few sentences on the hulls. So, I was wondering, could you give me some information? 'Cause he justs knows enough to change his boats...so, thanks(:

So what grade is this? Will you have access to a pool :). Seriously though I wouldn't stop at RC boats and have some good videos of all the types of hulls and show the characteristics of all of them. Here is the lowdown on RC but do your homework. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9069147/tm.htm

Hey I want to see this report when it's done! As an added incentive if you pull an "A" on this project - I've got a $50.00 Savings Bond that needs your name on it!

Haha, thank you(: This project sounds so much easier than last year's but the research is harder...

Thank you everybody(: I got 300 out of 300, which was an A. I didn't make it to the school fair though, but I thought the experiment was good.
