    It's not on my plans for the moment. I'm super happy of this little fast and furious boat capable of bashing through the waves and fast running at the lake on mirror water.

    At Mike Caruso you are the man! The rudder performed axactly as you predicted and the boat at the beginning was looser than last time I tried it.
    Then I've adjusted the position of the stinger, the batteries placement and the trim tabs.
    At the end of the day at the lake I was happy because I was able to adjust the boat trim as I wanted.
    Nice job on the rudder and glad to help out.

      Boat Completed

      The boat is now completed with a final paint and yesterday I have installed a longer rudder bracket.
      In these months I've been bashing this baby in the sea and at the lake and she's awesome.
      The next week end I'll try the longer longer rudder bracket.

        Sweet job there!! Looks great!
        Did you have to do any post cure surface finishing on the CF?
        How does the self righting part work?

            No, the carbon fibre is moulded within autoclave at a temperature of 130°C and don't need anything once out of the moulds.
            Here is the test video for the self righting feature:


            And these are some video in the sea and at the lake:
