Dusted off my Youngblood

[Dr Hydro]

I liked the ease of adjusting a stinger so I cut it down to the length of the strut that was on it originally.I removed the built in trim tabs and installed these. This boat has the delta pad on the bottom.I also modded the hull by adding a 3/16 wood strip along the bottom edge of the boat. I forget what ailment it was supposed to cure but the boat handles great. I'm going to try it without the turn fin because I think it handled good without it. It's been a while since I ran it. It does 61 with the CMB 65 Grand Prix. I think it is a 45 size hull(38 inches). Whatever. I blew up the K&B 45 in it(Hence the name Bam Bam) and had the 65 sitting around.

nice. Yes, my 38 inch Youngblood is for .45 . Although I believe it handles .45 - .67 . I'm running a slightly modded OPS 45 Marine, it's pretty fast, decent handling overall.

A friend of mine had a stock OPS 45 and that thing screamed.

Did u fill in the recesses where the old tabs were?

 

[Dr Hydro]

Yes and while I was at it I blueprinted the bottom.
