After the above remarks I think I will just give up on this thread to be honest. Good luck to all!
Amen..........I would NOT make the tub shorter.....

Aint it the truth.Amen..........I would NOT make the tub shorter.....

Aaron,
If I am not mistaken, you personally have built and run 4 or 5 ,maybe 6 JAE's ,all with great success.......I believe you have learned from personal experience
there are only 3-4 major design considerations to be taken into account when building a JAE.....
As long as these parameters are not violated you will have a bullet-proof boat that is very easy to set-up and run in most any water conditions.....
The JAE team has eliminated 99% of the so called "rigger secrets" with common sense and simplicity of design.....All JAE's run and respond the same,no matter the size.....
It never ceases to amaze me how many "defacto experts" we have out there that have never built or run a JAE,yet these "expertrs" are telling us [the JAE team] how to build,set-up,run and improve a JAE......
I believe you will agree with me all the boats you have built are basically idiot proof and extremely easy to run and all respond to the same set up techniques...
The "mystery" of how to run an out-rigger have been pretty much eliminated with a JAE design.....
One thing the JAE team has learned is if you "defacto experts" want to compromise the speed and handling of a JAE,just deviate from the plans or set-up instructions......
If you want your JAE to do something stupid,just change the plans and/or violate the set-up instructions....you will get your wish..... :angry:
Re: Boat tub width.......Look at post #6 referring to the width of the boat......Adjusting the tub width to accomodate a certain motor mount will be no problem to the performance of the boat......So I cut the tub and some other parts out with the laser. I added toy tabs to aid with assembly and reduce the need of some doublers for support. My concerns are there is no room for adjustment of front sponsons, the tub is supper long and supper narrow. I put the holes in for the motor mounts as shown but the mounts are so unique I am wondering if people are going to stick with and use the setup as drawn on the plan. Then there is the issue with the rudder. I think it will require mounting to side of tub I believe like the old mongoose. I guess it will all need some lake time. My biggest challenge is cutting through the 3/16 material. I have a 100 watt laser it requires multiple light passes for a square cut. Multiple passes equals more char, but it it easily sandable to clean up. I have the tub pieced together and I will post some pictures soon.
Martin, thats cool but an adjustable sponson changes nada if i set it where it sat originally. They would be ADJUSTABLE thats the point you can put them in stock locations too. Any hull can be tuned for maximum speed and handling. Does this mean the JAE is at its hulls pinnacle as it stands now?Its PERFECT? Sound like the way its set up so it can run decent for anyone not allowing any adjustments is a good thing in the hands of a wrong boater.Build any JAE to the plans & have a boat that will work brilliant straight of the build board, spend the extra time you will have improving your power plant & props not modding the design & not retesting at the lake to get your modded boat running as well as it would straight from the plans.Martin.
It is obvious you would rather debate,argue and question rather than build and test..............Im definately no expert but doesnt your no adjustment design assume that the builder is pefectly square? No adjustments on the sponsons or the strut wow. So for heat,2 lap,and saw its all the same to this boat? Pretty amazing, but dont worry Im gonna make it as plans call for 0 adjustments so if it doesnt run right I can call It a JAE .
I can also tell you the props care where the rudder is The JAE; no I can only listen and learn about that, but letting the props have undisturbed water to run through them is something that affects all boats even the JAE.
"If a specific rudder placement is not shown on the plans,that means the boat will not care where you put it......Build the boat per plan,run it and then comment on the design......"
Thats a little crazy if you think about it coz the plans have NO RUDDER AT ALL so we asked as not to assume and not be"DEFACTO DESIGNERS". you said if we needed help to ask you . I did as directed. I am dumb ,but you dont have to make me feel that way.
WERE all just trying to undersand your boat and the comments only make it more popular. You told me on my thread there was a jae thread with 2700 hits. Certainly alot of questions were asked thats all were doing here. I love the profile and design of this boat and I will do it justice before it does me any. Im putting top tier equipment in your JAE so lets hope it doesnt trip or lose my over a grand I'll have in it :huh: . One things for sure ; If it stays on the water my endeavors will only promote the JAE. Make no bones about it though Im still looking for an Eagle or a RR all day. This JAE is just one of many good riggers. I wont lose any sleep over it.

Put the rudder in the front of the boat??????.....why don't you try that Hugh and tell us how that works out for you........LOL funny Oh im gonna build it test it and still think adjustability keeps you out of trouble . No arguments just common sense . You dont tell someone "if the boat has no rudder in the plans put it where you want" thats crazy and a awful way to handle someone interested in your boat. So tell me that means I could put the rudder in the front of the boat? Right? Lets just face it no offense to you or david or anyone else on your design team the plans are just not complete. you have a strut hanging off the A$$ with not a single braket on it. Is that complete? There no l bracket commercially available to reach out that far so maybe a suggested hardware note would be okay. I also didnt know there was a limit on questions nor do I know why you are mad really. You handled the guys sh@tty. Lets hope the rr and eagle arent waiting for me at the finish line. If i want an eagle jae crapshooter rr thats up to me and only me. With that said Im done before it gets any crazier. Lets just say your right it runs perfect everytime out the jig fine!

should hold all the records then........
