On a hydro you have to either have a bend or a hook. hooks work better but require some tuning to get them right. Evert time I have seen someone try a straight fin the boat rides up on the fin and flips over.Team Liquid Dash -
My boat is scrubbing off tremendous speed in the corners, every other hydro ive owned pretty much maintained speed thru the corners. It feels like i the boat is sticky to the water. I scuffed the sponsons with no helpComment

Turn fins make a big difference on hydro. On my Whiplash hull I experimented with a few fins before I found one that didn't scrub any speed but still made the boat turn like a raped ape. I can do full 60mph turns with my Whiplash and the hull is STUCK to the water without any loss of speed.Team Liquid DashComment

There is the fin I made for my Whiplash, might work great on your hull too.Team Liquid DashComment

Great thanks, i have a guy w/ a lot of alum stock, what thickness did you use? 1/16Comment
-
.090 Aluminum
1/16 is way to think and will flex like crazy. You want as little flex as possible.Team Liquid DashComment

How much thicker is that than 1/16- is it thicker than 1/8Comment
-
1/16= .0625
3/32= .09375
1/8= .125
1/8" is quite a bit thicker and would be real hard to bend unless you have a industrial brake.Team Liquid DashComment

Raydee, do you have a ul-1Comment

No I have this on my 30" Whiplash. My bud has this fin in a smaller version in his 22" hydro and it turned on a dime. I decided to scale it up for my hydro and I am glad I did. You can just make it a little smaller for your 27" hull and I bet it will work great.Team Liquid DashComment

Im kinda looking for feedback from ul-1 owners that have tried different fins, but thank you very much for chiming in.Comment
