I've done some searching for a definitive trim guide for Deep V boats. I just got a DF 33 which runs stable but I think it's too wet. I've been flying model planes for about 11 years now, and we use these detailed trim guides that give a nice sequence to go through to trim out unwanted characteristics and get a model performing to its best potential. I've found some guides explaining raising the nose and lowering it, which was easy enough to figure out with basic physics. Are there any guides that go deeper than that?
My other question is do many monohull builders take the time to flatten the bottom of the hull and sharpen the trailing edge at the transom? When I had a catamaran, blueprinting the sponsons was a necessity. Obviously, the trim tabs are set right at that rounded edge at the back, but I can't help but think a smooth transition would be better. Is this a significant factor, or am I overthinking it?
