Go with red Chuck, it will go heaps faster!!!! That Scottish blue is the slowest colour of the lot. Thats because we all know Scott's are SLOW

Our minds are slow but Jim Clark may say we are damn fine race car drivers. He was the best period. Ecurie Ecosse

Chuck rudder angle on riggers is a great subject. It can do several things depending on what side of the transom your rudder is on. If on the left angled in a degree or two will help keep the inside sponson planted in high speed turns and this helps to stop the turn fin blowing out of the water. The down side is less lift in a straight line. If your rigger drops it's bum and starts to lift the sponsons in a straight line then a degree or two of outwards angle can help keep the transom lifted in the straights but can cause problems in corners. I like mine in a tad and with the right strut height , CG and prop get great cornering. Just my opinion and I know there are many other trains of thought out there. All set ups will be different and these can change with different props , turn fins etc so testing and more will be the key

Hey Chuck that looks like Dept of Corrections ( Jail ) Green, hope you did not steal it!!!!

I did a dry fit of the sponsons and I think I need to pack a bit more green on the boat. I was thinking the tail fin should be green as well. Then I will need to find some Green Bay Packer stickers to finish the boat.

Man that is the nicest looking Cheesehead I have seen in a long time Chuck. You packed that paint on real nice.
I agree with some Packer green on the tail fin. Andy was telling me how much he liked it on the phone yesterday.

Now a little song for us all....

Andy was telling me how much he liked it on the phone yesterday

I was Telling young Patrick how it is the same color as the track suits given to inmates of people in NSW jail's !!!! It is an opresive disgusting color and yes I was INNOCENT !!!!!

Innocent of being a belligerent prick...I doubt it.

Douggie, the master of understanding Aussie twits, because I am on the same wavelength.

That's what they all say !!!

P.S. Andy do you know where I can get stickers that say "Powered by Gnu"?

Paint is done and the boat is put back together for the most part. I have been looking for Green Bay Packer stickers but can't find any small enough. They have everything else you could think of for Chris's sake!

Nice work Chuck. I like it a lot.
If you want we could go halves in the cost of getting some Packer stickers made. I would like some for my boats too.

I do have some Powered By Neu stickers if they are any help Chuck

Good looking boat Chuck, you must be in a state of shock though, as the old man in purple looked damn good yesterday.

Thanks Douggie, but it was the Viking jinx as the Pack has always had a tough time with them.

Paddy, I found some Green Bay Packer stickers but they were expensive as I had to buy 40 stickers to only use 2 of them (all the NFL teams with 2 for certain teams). Here they are on the XS2.
