                No I have not run that outboard as of yet. I had originally set it up with a K&B converted outboard, did not like the weight or the way it handled with that set up. I have not had a chance to get any boats out lately. How does that outboard run on your Geico ? I've got a 26" Shockwave hull I have been thinking of putting that outboard on.

                      I really like the look of the weed whacker, what hull and outboard is it?

                        center to center inch an a half wide, center to center 7/8 top to bottom. Its the OSE lower in outboard section.

                          The Weed Wacka (Boston spelling lol) is a little 3.5cc 24" Dumas Hot Shot Sprint. (wood kit) The outboard is a K&B 3.5cc lower with an AquaCraft UL-1 36x56mm 2030 kv motor, under the mini outboard cowl. Seeking 120 amp speedo with a p-215 prop = 46mph gps.

                            Think I need to change the title to 4 little Tunnels cause I added this to the non racing fleet. It hit the water for the first time last week.

                              Question.
                              in the original pic, there are 3 tunnels , viewed from the back. The middle one has ride pads, the outer two have a dihedral type of full. Care to discuss the handling differences between the dihedral had ride pad types in a tunnel?
