Hull Characteristics.
1. The hull can be best described as a modified constant deadrise form, the most
trusted and well behaved hullform ever developed.
2. Relatively high deadrise at transom(16 degrees), makes her much more comfortable
in sea way than the majority of boats this size.
3. The innovative, variable width chine flats are wide aft, gradually narrowing , from
amidships forward. The wide chine flats aft give the hull extra lateral stability, while
narrow chine flats forward, allowing the hull to move through the water, prevent it from
slamming against oncoming chop.
4. The hull is 16.5 feet long.
5. The Tuna 16 hull is equipped with a "delta pad", for better lift.

Specifications

1. All major hull structure components are designed and calculated to conform to the requirements of ABS
(American Bureau of Shipping).
2. The maximum beam is 6.5'.
3. Whenever possible, welds are avoided.
Each hull half is one piece, so are side plates. This approach yields a much fairer hull.
4. The hull is framed longitudinally, which, again, produces a fairer hull, eliminating the "hungry horse" look of many
metal boats.
5. The structure consists of longitudinal girders and transverse frames, which “egg crate” into one another to make
assembly quick and accurate.
6. I believe in being able to access and remove the fuel tank(s), if necessary, even after the boat is completed. This is
accomplished by locating the fuel tank under a “soft patch” in the cockpit sole.
7. Alloys used are all top marine grade 5000 series.
Bottom - 1/4" - 5086 H116
Sides - 3/16" - 5086 H116
Cabin - 1/8" - 5052 H32
