    Default ML sx400

    I can use some help on this one. COG, strut location and rubber length? My 400 chops in the turns. IMG_1696.jpgIMG_1692.jpgIMG_1529.jpg

    Middle of the turn fin for the CG, and if you happen to be running a flat bottom strut, you need to change that to a round bottom, and you should be using an X series Octura 2 blade prop, or ABC 2 blade cleaver prop. Hope this helps! Mike

    Thinks Mike. It's all worked out now. Your the man and the boat is everything you said it would be on your web site.

    Wow, great work! That thing is movin! I can't believe you are getting that kind of performance from a 1521 Neu. That is a large, heavier hull, so that is really impressive to me!

    The turn fin was lifting the right sponsons. I adjusted the turn fin to hold it down.
