Welcome To Cutfinger Watercraft™
Our first hull floatation test!
Cutfinger has moved to our new headquarters

This is a new
concept for boat and watercraft propulsion. It will revolutionize boat design forever by
allowing watercraft to sustain high speeds while slicing through sea swells - not
over them. The new design was recently awarded a U.S. patent and International patent for
the overall design, as well as detailed systems that the watercraft will employ. It is
designed with a cabin that will hold a minimum of 4 adults and with different
configurations could hold up to 12.
The concept of the design is simple. To give you an idea of how it works, think of a soda
bottle filled halfway floating in the water. It would give the watercraft a low profile as
it floats in the water. That plus being inspired by how Tuna fish swim through the water
is how the basic concept works.
The watercraft prototype will be approximately 54 feet long. This allows the bottom of the
hull to be submerged constantly at some contact point in a wave swell. The propulsion
system is designed to have a constant flow of water to prevent cavitation from occurring.
Portions of the watercraft that are in contact with the sea swells will allow water to
flow in and it shuts off the flow when the hull is not in contact with water. A constant
flow of water channeled through the hull is the key to allowing the watercraft to sustain
high speeds without "throttling" the engine as traditional boats are required to
do.
This concept uses a radical shift from the standard types of propulsion. We are
using a new patented type of propulsion that will increase hull speed. Engineers have
projected the watercraft may be able to sustain 100 mph in sea swells of 20 feet or
higher.
There are many new concepts and ideas that have went into the design of the watercraft. It
has a special fuel system that keeps the ballast of the boat constant. Also, the
propulsion system doesn't use a rudder to guide the craft through the water. It uses a
system similar to a Harrier Jet to turn.
In testing done with models, it has been discovered that the hull design is extremely
efficient. This has shown that the watercraft requires less propulsion than a normal boat
because it has so much less drag. The distance it travels from a small amount of
inertia is incredible.
