I use 0-80 machine screws as "non-slip" pins in the rear carbon boom. They go thru the brass and carbon. 1/8 toe in fin side.

Another possible option to keep the rods from slipping in the brass is to drill a pair of 1/16" (or appropriate diameter) holes through the brass and carbon on the inside of the the tub and use some 1/10 car body clips through the brass and carbon. That way if you need to replace the booms you can pull them out easily.

Great pics Buckshot !! With all that great performance the motor appears to box stock. I'm sure Al has more in stock.

I would look real close to the big end of the rod were the bushing is the hole in the rod.

You can see that the bushing is keyed in place.

William,
Looks good on the water, I wonder if the 2317 will make it
even better? The roostertail looked kinda choppy in one of
the videos, so I wonder if a little more blade length would
help that prop wash flutter? You may need to round the tips
a touch. Definitely competitive right out of the gate.
You Do Very Nice Work,

Looks great Buckshot. What kind of foam did you use in the ski and who built the tank?
