        I also rounded off the end of my rudder. Should help chine walk too. And keep the rudder from being a lift point.

          40 bucks seems reasonable and rounding the rudder will be copied by everyone in a couple days I'm sure. Did you sharpen the turn fins too or was that done earlier?

            I was first one to point out the turn fins and rudder needed sharpening

              I was wondering how i came up with such a good idea! I'll try not to tell you your own advice in the future. Man that was fun...

                  How big is that tube it looks much much smaller than the original monster on the boat and if it is then the bend should be better too right? Thanks j

                    What tube. I'm lost. It's late and my brain isn't working as well. :)
                    If your referring to the stinger tube it is a little smaller. The stock strut held a .195 propshaft. The new stinger holds a 3/16" .187 propshaft. But the stuffing tube inside the boat to the motor is stock. For a .150 flex. But I'm running piano wire drive .078 into a .187 propshaft.
                    Like these.

                      Nice Pictures and those shafts look cool. Is the plan to put a different Teflon sleeve or a smaller stuffing tube to take up the .072 difference in size or does that not matter? I thought(sorry about that) the wire might whip back and forth in the liner and maybe leak.

                        I ran 2 times today. Once in the morning then once in the evening. Both times with good results. Nice plane across the water at WOT. Speeds were pretty consistent between the runs 58.5Mph. Only instabilities were running over my own wake just right or when the wind would blow and make little waves in a certain area it would jump out of the water. I have some video but Im having trouble getting it up. I'll try to see if I can get the full video I made uploaded tomorrow.
                        For now I am making a clip to share that should be up shortly.
