Gas outriggers

[TJ Hammons]

Sharing a few pictures of the gas outriggers we’ve been working on. Going to be an exciting year for sure. On the water action shots were taken by Mario Johnston who does a fantastic job capturing our club’s boats

Looking good. Looking forward to coming down to the Cinci race this summer and seeing them in action.

How has the boats responded to spreading the booms wider front to rear?

So far the boat responded well as far as handling and the tub/sponsons have quite a bit less flex. Seems to corner well and doesn’t get wild out of the corner. It’s only been in the water twice, so we still have a lot of testing and run time to go. I do believe this is a viable option for our future builds

This one works really nice. Easy to drive even with higher than recommended aoa on front and rears
