WOW, awesome project. Good luck!

The hole in the deck is an open front bow for all your friends to hang out. It was an extra option (this is only hearsay so believe at your own risk)

Active canard, I'd bet, like unlimited hydros. It allows you to kill excessive forward lift if the boat starts to kite.

The main foil's active area is further aft - and so is the center of lift - lessening the likelihood of blow-over, and at the same time this provides means for a forward stabilizer allowing for controlled flight. Just a guess.

Since this is a Turbine themed thread, Mr. Scott, would you care to share a round-about speed number for your turbine mti? And also welcome to SOS.

Thats what i was thinking especially if this thing has been wind tunnel tested to 300mph. I do like the idea of db71's bow rider concept too. That would be a ride at 200+ :driving:
