Am concluding theres merit in this extended hull advice on the JAE gas now. Testing today was to include a new ski with reduced main ramp angle ... but just as an experiment a run without any ski was to be the starting point. This transformed the straight line running, attitude and speed to a...

Interested to follow your build and set-up of this . Were there any mods to the stock kit during your build ? Have a 12 kit in customs ... as I discovered a new side exhaust NovaR .15 in the workshop recently .. ..... wouldnt be too worried about the car timings, can all be worked around if...

No questioning of methods or experience ... just a little disappointing to be 5 inches adrift if thats the case . So far this boat has had over stock . 1/8th toe Trued up turn fin (a little twist along it) 10mm thick aluminum strut (original non zipp version was twisting under load)... this...

Some claimed merit in the profile immediately adjacent to the plug Marty ?

Had the same reply from Joe very recently on the gas rigger design too...He did offer to send out the modded ski design (great product support) so its worth a call/mail.

So we buy and meticulously build to the letter, a hot design .... and then just throw on an extra 5 inches of hull for the crack ?? Now this is really sense of humour testing stuff !! ...... :wacko:

To all the replies many thanks and apologies for the semi thread-hijack.. Will certainly try the rearward CG suggestions. To be honest to date Ive been trying to move it forward, lift the rear with forward CG / lower strut and get the boat to ride level. In the early days it was flying off the...

But as the prop load changes in and out the the corner (due vector feed) its lift and hence hull and turn fin AOA must change slightly too .. Very interested in all this as a JAE gas Ive built is a serious PIA to get running well .... just cannot physically get the strut deep enough with the...
