Abstract Power prediction is one of the major steps when it comes to design a military boat. Having a fast running and reliable tool to select the appropriate couple engine/propulsion permits to explore more hull's possibilities. This study is built on a comparison made between a predictive tool and a series of 35 hard chine planing boats, constructed to be identical. The different theories used to program the Power Prediction Tool (PPT) will be cited as reference but will not be developed. In this article, we present the influence of the different parameters and the validity of our tool.
