Default RE: Need basic parameters

Jim,
I used the formula for a single float, the type that looks like a torpedo hanging under the fuse. The beam would be rather narrow, but the equation IS for a float not a hull. Could I widen it to what a normal fuse width would be?
The single float also has a larger portion of the float ahead of the step/CG than does the twin float arrangement. What would the ratio be for a hull design?
