HULL FORM
- The Stilt was developed through several years of on the water testing one off designs - numerous length-to-beam ratios, running surfaces and hull forms were evaluated in our quest for the perfect skiff
- A length-to-beam ratio of 4:1, along with canoe sections forward, provide the effortless poling of a micro skiff yet provide third person carrying capability, zero hull noise, extremely smooth ride, range and versatility
- Stability is enhanced by waterline length, low deadrise angles and a close relationship between chine beam and overall beam
- Lower freeboard not only keeps sail area down and minimizes weight, along with a slightly cambered running surface, it guarantees maneuverability and tracking on the push pole second to none - even when it is howling
- An oversized spray knocker and horizontal surface at the sheer provide extreme “overhang” in the forward sections, keeping the ride very dry - even in a beam sea the four strakes below the waterline turn the spray down and aft
- Extreme ultra shallow draft performance with the propeller above the hull bottom are guaranteed with New Water’s exclusive LamiflowTM tunnel design
- The speed and low resistance which derive from her design can be further enhanced with New Water’s optional LamiventTM patented technology which provides tunnel or non-tunnel hull performance with the flip of a switch - Speeds over 30 mph can be reached with a 50 hp outboard
- Careful weight studies were conducted throughout the development to assure ultra shallow poling with even keel performance
