More Of A Good Thing: The Secrets Of Tunnel Boat Design - 13th Edition
A book review by Greg Terzian




...introduction from Mark Rotharmel: F1 champion & host of Powerboat Television

 
 
 

AeroMarine Research® has received testimonials from successful users of the "Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design", and "Secrets of Propeller Design" books, the "Tunnel Boat Design Program" software for tunnel hull performance analysis, the "Vee Boat Design Program" software for Vee hull performance analysis and the "PropWorks2" software for speed prediction and propeller selection.

Successful experts in today's tunnel boat business from over 40 countries take advantage of the unique AR® tools - including leading recreational tunnel boat designers; popular builders; winningest racers; fastest record holders. Even the world's most powerful nautical force (can you guess who that is?) uses AR® software!  Many users still ask us to keep their trade names confidential.... and the reasons always the same - "those that know how a tunnel boat really works aren't telling - they're just doing it!"..
