Default RE: Scratch built push tug

It's shaping up real nice so far. Do you think the 'V' on the bow will be of much benefit considering you have the pushers up there also?
Again I'm thinking of Springers with pushers built as yours are drawn. The pushers are below the water line and therefore the 'V' won't
do much good in pushing water to the side as the pushers are right there in the way. Other Springer models "do not" have their pushers
in front of the bow and below the water line but rather even with the front of the bow and straight up above the bow. I that case a 'V'
would help in pushing through the water to some degree so that there would not be such a large bow wave to push along in front of the boat.

Just a couple of thoughts/observations.
