   They are usually displacement hulls. V or arc-bottom chine boats have a V shape between 6° and 23°. This is called the deadrise angle. The flatter shape of a 6-degree hull will plane with less wind or a lower-horsepower engine but will pound more in waves. The deep V form (between 18 and 23 degrees) is only suited to high-powered planing ...

Aronow would sell Formula and all but one of his molds to Alliance Machine Company in 1964 in what would become a pattern, whereupon he would sign a non-compete clause, walk out the door, and start Donzi Marine right next door.
