So it wasn't just me. I now know of 6 people that have had to do this. Don't know why people can't just admit its a design flaw.A suggestion: I built the 21gt which was
My 3rd JAE. First of original plans, 2nd 21 kit
The 21 gt has been the MOST DIFFICULT for ME to get the Performance I got from the Standard 21 JAE kit
Friday testing will determine which one goes to Charleston
With that all said I would attach the SKI WITH double sided tape that is used to attach chrome strips to a car. You can get at most car store, NAPA ADVANCED AUTO PARTS
It is a 3 M product
I glued mine and the ski angle was not right
I had to put more angle on the ski to get the rear end up to get the boat level
BTW I built a single 101 and a twin 101 and had to change the skis on both boats after they were
Glued on. The twin 101 skis are attached with tape now
The single 101 was placed on the mill milled to get what we wanted and recapped
So good luck with the project

And now I'm going to grab a bag of popcorn and see where this go's
Thanks Doc for the info....We will investigate this....the tape is a great idea for testing and tuning...you are a good racer and I appreciate your comments..Hey Rod, mine was not the height and/or depth of the ski,
But the angle of attach
Also I use the kit parts as a template and build the boat out of other materials SO I COULD GET THE PART OUT OF WHACK.
My point is if you use the tape method to attach the ski it is a lot easier changing what ever needs to be changed with the ski versus gluing it on
FOR ME the ski is the most critical part of the boat to get right
This is information he needs to know. Especially as a first time nitro boater. I'm pretty sure this forum is for helping boaters.Put the original sponsons back on it or get the originals from Joe.
With that said lets let Christopher have his build tread back.
I want to see more pics of his build.
Love the color docFirst time out 85-88 mph 2719 props
