Well Pete, looks like I'll be makin' my right sponson flat when I skin mine. I'm finally goin' to get started on it this week, I'm all recovered from the Colorado trip and everything's getting back to normal. "Normal being a relative term"

Has anyone tried anhedral on the inside sponson. It's used on some fullsize boats. I might give it a try on my next build.

Yep. Should be an easy fix. Just sand the frame down flat before you glue the ride pad skin on.

I almost tried that when making the mod to flat, but I chickened out!

aren't you glad you stopped! that boat as it is right now,should blow the rest of us out of contention! what a sweet machine..............!

The anehedral mod is on the non-turn fin side... I'd say its to lessen trip but, may let the boat drift more or depend more on rudder and fin...????

[Shooter]

I think the anhedral 785 is talking about is on the turnfin side (to help glide through the turns...i.e. use the fin to turn, not the hull).

Regarding the 3deg/flat design, Mike and I have been discussing the tunnel depth on each. Since the side with dihedral is essentially a point contact in the water, it most likely rides deeper in the water than the flat side. If this is true, the flat side should have a slightly shallower tunnel depth. No? Well, that's how my mod ended up at least, and it seems to work!!

rayzer.
Which one was better? The flat or the anhedral?

The flat

Thanks mate.

[Shooter]

Thanks for everyone's help! I'd say we have the turning licked!! Thanks for taking the video, Ben.

Can't wait to violate one myself.

Mine will look different.
