        hey MAVDRIVER if you are doing an air dam try taking a 7/16-1/2 square piece of balsa or something some what soft and epoxy the wood so it sealed or clear coat it then double sided tape in under the hull around two inches back from the front of the tunnel and then hockey tape it to . This method works awesome. with slightly larger prop and the air dam then you set up the strut and sharpen the turn fin and rudder I have been getting a consistant 52mph even in a little rougher water, it sticks on smooth or tailing another boat and running in their wake
