Very cool. Congrats!

I have the H&M M1 supercat S 26.5"
She ran 60.2 on 2S 2P at the SAWS for the N-tunnel record

thanks diego, it looked so cool i had a real long stretch of lake for it to wind out before i had to turn and it was aired out but felt very planted i dont think i want to make an adjustments. if anything a longer rudder this one i cut a little short just need to get a replacement

i think that supercat s u got would make a great p-limited offshore hull how does it turn?

I modded my ride pads for the SAW time trials. M1's are known for turning well. My new M1 streamline will also be setup for SAW.

A deeper rudder will take from your top speed, but if you're turning, you may need it. Just try to keep the ratio of turning (deep rudder) to top speed (shallow rudder) where you like it.
