This worked out very well for Chris Harris.Sort of on the same subject.....I have a SAW boat (under construction) that has a small flap (air brake on each rear sponson bracket) that raises at part throttle to slow the boat by aerodynamic drag and also by pushing down on the rear of the sponson to put more load on the sponson running surface. It then lowers out of the air stream at full throttle getting ready for the next pass.
I played with this idea before building it into this boat by mounting this temporally on a heat racing boat and it worked very good, much, much better than expected, very predictable.
Just a thought for some of the fast guys.

I imagine the guys will come up with some cool tricks once they start needing a shovel to retrieve their boats.
