    Who makes them? How about a picture of the inside?

      Interesting, how does the added weight in the transom roll the boat over?

        Just me thinking out loud, but maybe the rear fills up enough to make it bob like a fishing cork, then give it some throttle and it jumps out and back up and running... Probably not but just my thought.
        My prop hasn't been wet in a while.

          I would think the entry holes would have to be on the top of the tub so when it flips they are under water.

            I think he wanted to tell us that he made a "start-help" instead of a floodchamber.
            Holes are on both sides of the hull.
            That thing won't flip over if it's upside down.
            I think the reason for this starthelp is to sink the back of the boat,
            in order to get "grip" when starting.
            In this way the prop doesn't cavitate/cavitates less.

              Personally, I'd make the hole larger, so that it can evacuate the water more efficiently when it gets on plane. Just my thought.

              Good concept employed though. I've seen a lot of boats out of Germany with this type of flood chamber.

                is precisely the method

                  Wow! I hit the nail on the head! But I would love to see a video of this happening....

                    dario :

                    Nice ! Is it hard to control flipping to the right side up ?

                        Fellas, I'm hereby translating a PM from Dario:
                        This hull is from a friend of his that lives in Valencia; he gave it to a German friend along with the mold... Dario ran it once the German friend came to Verme, sorry, no videos but it works. He had seen this flood system at a race in Expozagaroza... it works like this:
                        When the hull capsizes, the chamber floods and the hull stands up (like a buoy), as you accelerate the force of the prop alone gets you right side up again... the only down side is that you have o ease on the throttle otherwise the hull jumps and spins up in the air.

                        Dario, let me know if this is what you meant.

                          Man, I must be slow today, because I didn't get it before. Thanks for the clarification and translation UB.

                            Just got some news from Dario,
                            the plug for the rigger will be in his hands and he plans in making about 5 or 6 in FG
                            with CF reinforcement on the bottom, transom and ride pads.

                            Good deal man!!!
