Hows best to mount the vertical wings

[BullDogRacing]

Gaday Guys

Just another question for you all .

We you mount the vertical wings is there another way to lock them down another than using screws at the base to the vertical wings .

why I ask im using a set of Phil's verticals and as they are nice and thin but shore as sh-t the first blow over they with only be good for the bin .

PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT IM BAGGING THE WINGS as they are great nice and light for the backend but due to our OZZY $$$ being so poor against the US $$$$ I would like there to be some other way to lock them down so im not buying wings every week. is there another way other than what I know with the 2 nylon screws at the base for the vertical .dose anyone else have any other way to lock them down that they had tried and proven to be a winner .

Thanks Brad

Use plastic bolts 440 if you can find them and they will break the bolts before hurting anything most of the time

Those foam core wings wont break in a blow over.

Use some nylon screws tap the metal studs or use nuts on the inside of the wing.

If the wings stay on the boat they wont get broken or run over if they come off when running.

If some one runs over you the nylon bolts will shear saving you some damage.

What will the project be when it is finished??

In my opinion, don't mount them at all. Build a boat that does not have wings and avoid the headache...lol

Good luck with your project, and remember, go fast turn right.
