16ft HULL

The 16ft Bird of Prey hull showcases thoughtful design elements that enhance both performance and comfort on the water. A key feature is the 7° transom deadrise which steepens to over 20° at the keel. This gradual transition allows the hull to effectively chop through wakes, reducing the impact and preventing hull slap — a common cause of noisy, uncomfortable rides. By minimizing hull slap poling, this hull design enhances stability and keeps passengers more comfortable. Additionally, the hull includes fully submerged reverse chines. These chines provide excellent directional stability while enabling the boat to slide quietly and stealthily onto shallow flats. This feature is particularly beneficial for anglers or boaters aiming to approach sensitive areas without disturbing wildlife or causing excessive wake. Oversized spray rails incorporated into the design are another functional aspect. These rails help deflect water spray downward and outward as the boat planes, keeping the rider dry even in choppy conditions or at higher speeds. This not only contributes to comfort but also maintains visibility and safety. The side console rigging adds to the convenience and usability, offering ergonomic controls and a streamlined dashboard layout. This setup supports easier navigation and access to equipment, ideal for fishing, beach outings, or general boating activities. Such features reflect a balanced approach between performance, stealth, and rider comfort, making the 16ft Bird of Prey hull suitable for diverse boating lifestyles including fishing enthusiasts and recreational boaters seeking smooth, efficient travel over varied water conditions.
