Dave, simply put (and I know I'm going to get hammered on this one) the larger a JAE gets, the more important length aft of CG is. for your gas JAE to get running good you need more "wheel base" aft for stability and weight.

totally agree. I was commenting on the "why" extending the strut way past the rears could cost speed in the corners.

I've used both and haven't noticed much difference with same stinger diameters. the Black will hold heat better if you need it, but as power and fuel the same. gh

I look at a boat hull as an Airplane that skimms the water, problem comes when cornering the water becomes a "limiting surface" unlike in the air we can't change the angle of lift or the center of pressure by "banking" our boats in the corner. since we must make lateral turns against a limiting...

Many of the prop guards I've seen in the past would make the boat difficult to get off the stand and could damage the running gear?? If you pay attention to what you're doing and be aware of your surroundings there should be no problem in the hot pits. There's way more danger in carrying a...

Snowed in here in Indiana thought I'd take advantage of the "free" day to get some boat work done. Received my graphics from Mike Monday and couldn't put it off any longer............. almost ready for clear coat...........!!!

phil, you have a PM gh

just talked to her on the cell........................;-)

phill, where you located?

Norris, give me Ballard's full name and state and I'll check. gh

Not totally up on all the fuss but don't forget you still have to drive it and keep it running...............there's a lot more to this game than where the strut sits!!! the hull definition, that's as Mikey would put it a "spirit of the class" thing gh
