Original "Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design". (ISBN# 1-894933-30-3) The most advanced publication on tunnel hull design, how a tunnel hull works, detailed explanation of design and setup for tunnel boats, power cats, and modified vee hulls of all sizes, including sample calculations. Learn how to design or modify and setup your own tunnel boat, power cat, or modified vee hull for all Recreation, Performance hulls, Fishing/Utility boats, UIM & APBA racing hulls, even RC models. (not just for racing applications!) By well-known powerboat designer, builder, author and race-driver, Jim Russell. This new edition has lots of new information; with over 200 pages, and over 160 photographs! AR® sustains the most advanced performance powerboat research programs in the industry. Get the most from your tunnel hull or vee-hull setup.
"... a must-read resource for boat builders... (Russell) combines practical experience with his extensive engineering, analytical and literary skills. Russell arms the reader with proven calculations... that remove much of the guesswork... He knows of what he writes... a person to be admired for his intelligence and devotion to high performance boating.” Mark Rotharmel, F1 Champion "...I just received and read your book (Secrets of) "Tunnel Boat Design" ... Tremendous, terrific, great, and fantastic...you have combined a tremendous amount of research with an excellent writing approach so that it is easy for the reader to understand just what you are saying ...congratulations on a tremendous piece of work!" [Morley Smith, Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers]"...Jim, I really want to tell you how much I enjoyed re-reading your book 'Secrets of Tunnel boat Design'! " [Bob Switzer, original Switzer Wing designer, Switzer Craft Boats, IL, USA] This edition includes 'History of Tunnel Boat Design', 'History of Modified Tunnel Hull (Mod VP, centerpod ) Design'; 'History & Design of Propellers'; and 'History & Design of 'Wing in Ground Effect (WIG)' concepts. The book includes the 'Ten Steps To Performance Powerboat Design'. All outlining how they have impacted high performance powerboat and tunnel boat designs. This book even includes examples of performance calculations that you can do yourself for any hull design.
These new segments
are added to the original STBD book features: The developments of the tunnel and V bottoms are interestingly chronicled, with detailed
explanations of hull design, function, potential and characteristics. This unique book also details ten design steps for analysis of hull
performance and stability showing how the calculations are accurately performed, as well as providing detailed information about their
relation to hull performance. The ten steps range from layout design and dimensions, calculating aerodynamic and hydrodynamic lift and drag,
power calculations, and dynamic stability, acceleration, etc.

Scream & Fly Magazine OR
dload your own copy of the review) Detailed design practices and formulae. Shows how to calculate hydrodynamic drag of ANY lower unit design or ANY drive design. Includes formulae and design algorithms for
calculating real powerboat performance and stability
characteristics. Shows step-by-step how to analyze all types of hulls, including appendages,
cockpits, and even different
styles of lower unit/outdrives.
"Jim, I introduced my students to your Tunnel Hull (Design) book and
the process used to design tunnel hulls...(using) your tunnel-hull
material for my entry level course to... aerodynamic
and hydrodynamic lift and drag. (The program was presented at American
Society of Engineering Educators conference in June 2017). Thanks for
your support."[Professor Eric Leonhardt, Western Washington
