CF 3.5 Rigger Project

Well, It's been a good boat but I have had enough of the flat bottom sponsons,

Mike, I've never used flat bottom sponsons - curious to know what was so bad about them?

I think I can get it smoother and faster except on glass water.

I got the speed of the boat up to a point where there is too much lift in the front.

Just finishing up the new front sponsons, going to test them this weekend.

Also got a turn fin from Grimracer, looks pretty good. Got it mounted without the third boom turn fin support. The design of the turn fin lets you hit the CG with out mounting the fin way back.

Awesome work as usual! ;D

Looks like a little less angle of attack on the new sponsons?
