    Rudder length ?

    I'M thinking of shortening my rudder length a little bit to where the rudder sits level with the top of the table when the boat is on the stock stand, what do you think?
    and has anyone tried this.

    Less in the water = less drag right?
    But you cut some off of your rudder wont that effect the turning some also? seeing as you had what about 1/2 inch to an inch more in the water? Not quite sure myself. Learning In Progress! It may not make a difference since you still have 2 to 3 inches in the water at all times.

In our world it's a way to stay sane. If you're asking me. To have it my way, I'd say that's One fine day. ---- The Offspring

        you have an old rudder you can try so u don't have to mess up anything good in case of a bad result? I personally wouldn't cut mine if i didn't have something to go back on it just to be safe. When you try it let me know I'm a leader by heart but you might just have a follower. lol

          I'll post the results when I do it.
          record first speed run then another w/ shortened rudder, should be intresting.
          I believe it should be alright.
