Joe,
My design calls for about 45%.
I want to get that thing out of the water when surface running. Also, I
figure a guy needs all the bouyancy he can get when launching the thing so
that you don't need 6' of water. I'm going for the "better to have too
much than not enough" concept. Hopefully I'm not overlooking
something.
Myles.

Someone check me here.
According to the Busby book, a MBT system as a rule of thumb should
be approximately 10% of displacement at dive trim.
If that is the case, then for each 10k of displacement should be
roughly 125 gallons of seawater. That in turn converts to 16.71 cubic feet
unless I am mistaken this doesn?t feel right?
If that is the case, these are very encouraging numbers!
Joe
