[QUOTE="David Atkins, post: 500783, member: 33198"] Re: What does "Hook" in a hull mean? The hook in the bottom of the boat if it is adjacent to the transom is probably built in by design. Its kinda like having a permanant trim tab installed. Its design is to help keep the bow down. If performance is what your looking for definately consider taking it out, thats one of a few things to do to help improve top speed (if your doing hull and paint work anyway). With the hook out, it takes less trim to lift the bow. Less trim means the prop stays in the water better, which will allow the motor to be run higher on the jackplate. All combined for more top end speed. [/QUOTE]
