Here's a video of my OvalMaster 29, performing some magic

That's pretty cool...I guess the only problem I see is that the boat has to be way off balance to self right.
The self righting hulls I've seen are balanced but have a chamber on one side of the boat to the transom that will fill up and pull that side plus the transom under water to put the prop down and it will power it's way back upright.

Hopefully, this weekend, the weather will permit an opportunity to actually run it. I'll drag the wife along as my camera person (it will make a nice 11 year anniversary outing). The chamber runs along the entire left side of the boat, and it does list to that side at rest. I have every hope that after power is applied, and the chamber empties, it will ride smooth and level.
I'm also sure that I will have some dialing in to do once it hits some real water.

So you are saying it does have a flood chamber? Could we see a pic of it. It seems to be flipping over very fast for a flood chamber set up. They usually tale about 5 to 10 seconds.

Wheelnut,
In the first pic, you can see the chamber and the flood holes

In the second pic, you can see it from the transom.

The hatch was designed a little taller, in order to facilitate a quicker turn over.

As it sits now, the weight is a little heavier on the chamber side. I am hoping that as it takes off, and empties the flood chamber, it will plane evenly, but only testing will tell for sure.

lets see some vids of it running
