No problem Dude,
Keep all the edges sharp so the water will shear off.
Good luck with your design,

Another good thing your bulkheads resemble Jerry's HS Sprint, a already proven design.
Only yours would be three inches longer at 27.

Added pic:
Angle of the sponson bottom sheeting (deadrise) 12 to 14 degrees,
Stay close to the dims and you should be fine.

27 is fine, With the current outboards .21 tunnelhull class are 28 to 30" long.
Gene
The HS Sprint is a little short at 24" by todays standards......

But, some guys still run K&Bs. Just not the guys winning national championships.

Ya might be better served goin with the TS3.
Reason is depending on the production run some VS1's had voids in the seams.
Where the transom joins the center section and sponson sheeting.
JD has a neat check if you have a suspect seam, Just run some thin CA along the seam.
If it wicks in ya got a void, If it rolls along ya dont.
Dont get me wrong Im a nut for that boat on my third right now, Just fair warning.
TS3 is purdy much plug and play just follow the instructions, Tower has sales on them all the time,

Slideblues, I might end up getting the VS1 because of how it looks and how i believe it will perform.. The TS3 would be great to because of the readiness of it like you said. I want to hurry up and get one while the weather is good here in Cali.
