I bought a piece of 1/4" lexan. Going to try a air dam temporarily when I put boat back together this weekend. I went back in this thread thinking someone had posted about an air dam on their Popeye but could not find anything.

Sweet vid Tim...

This the clip with the UL-1 fin. The straight fin did not come out on video.
Is it normal to hear the hull slapping on the water? Speed is approximately 55mph as confirmed by someone's radar gun. I think if I were more knowledgeable pushing another 4-5 mph is possible.

That hull slapping is not from the turn fin, it's from the strut being too high. drop it about a 1/8" and you'll probably cure that.

Hey Tim.
Looks like your driving is getting a lot better,
Or did you just get some better glasses and can really see the boat now.

thanks!

Lenny, I am a NATURAL performer, (just check my profile):D . I need audience! No glasses needed! Lol.....
Mark Grim was there, he is well known here in district 19.

So I will not be putting my $400 iPhone in my boat any longer to record the speed.....

[ron1950]

I had that same gps....says water resistant...but be carful it sinks like a stone....that is from experience lol

[Jlov]

It actually says it's waterproof so thanks for the heads up. I hopefully will not have my boat sinking anymore...

[tlandauer]

I have one as well. It's very good but I wish they are smaller though, the room in many hydro is not that much, Popeye is an exception.

Just wanted to pop in and say I will be receiving a cf Popeye in a few weeks. Hopefully all goes well with shipping.
