Kentley, Do you want the rear of the strut at 2.25 ? The struts I make for the .12 are 1.75 but will also fit the .21 so I was going to test it at that length. Does it make that much difference as long as you get as low as possible?Hi Dave,
With the large ski, it dose not matter. I have tried both with no noticeable difference.
I would run the strut at least 2.250 from the stern.

KP, I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that my strut design was at 2.25, they are at 2.75 . I made it at that length to avoid interference with the rudder and to keep in clean water as you said. Total brain fart on my part.Kentley, Do you want the rear of the strut at 2.25 ?

Jim to be honest I dont know. I am sure that 1.75 will be fine. The 2.25 is what I have been running from day one. Just like to keep the prop in clean water.

Guys, You all need to see Jim's strut. This thing is a work of art. I Got one for my 12 boat and will be ordering a 2nd one for the 21 when I get it from zipp kits. Ryon
Thanks for the kind words guys I really appreciate it. I will be offering a lite weight version made out of Delrin and some other similar materials for the FE boats. I am going to need someone with a FE to do some testing for me since I am strictly a nitro guy , if any one is interested let me know.Guys, You all need to see Jim's strut.
