    Swapped turn fins?

    Hey fellow Spartan users
    (Or random browsers). I decided to basically swap my turn fins on different and I think it should bring better results. It will increase drag a tad bit but seems it may stick in the water coming out of turns.
    They are using stock mounting holes but just swapped--- they look a tad lower.
    I have yet to test them.
    Why are you bothering me? I want to see your boat!

      Not yet.... I have been dealing with the ESC I killed.... I think if the strut was shaped to flow smoothly it would help. I have a stock ESC and motor now, just awaiting my 5s lipos (2) and then everything will get Castle Polarized connectors and I should be set. Since my Spartan has been down I have cleaned a few neighbors wave runners to make a few bucks. Gotta do a 22' boat tomorrow! Also I picked up a trailer for my Spartan on eBay... Looks like it was from Cormier RC.

      Long story short= no. :/

        What was the turning problem before you swapped?

          Why are the outter trim tabs so low?

            Sometimes after a 1:1 went by I would be turning and the boat would slip a bit on the wake (bounce out) I was just playin' with them, they all run neutral now...

              I have returned the fins to stock position, they only freaked the boat out chine walk wise... They helped at lower speed though! Still have some cavitation...
