JAE 45 -Tips and tweeks

[Mike Daly]

Hi to all :I have ordered a JAE 45 short kit to build this winter and reenter into Boat racing next spring.

I would appriciate any tips and experience you guy's could share .

I have heard some comments about the 45 pulling to the right,is this a alignment or a turnfin issue ?

Thanks - Mike

1/8 of an inch of toe in on the right sponson should solve the problem

Make sure you keep the engine back as close to the bulkhead as you can. Table the boat and check the sponson angles as you build to make sure they are the same or a little less angle on the left. Also it is important to keep the strut parallel to the table. Zero angle Other than that its pretty simple and they run very good.

Mike I built 4 of the JAE45 s, they don't pull to the right!! Build them by the plans or as Rod G says" don't change the boat" and you will love it at 80mph.

One other thing Mike is the overall sponson width 24" . Get the solid carbin fiber booms from Goodwins. 5/16/ .317
