Mike P's upscaled rigger

[rhomodel]

When following the thread of Mike's rigger I wanted to build something similar. Only difference it had to be for gas. So it's a tad bigger and has somewhat different lines but the idea is the same. Will wet it tomorrow but for looks here's a picture ( have to explain, don't have a reso pipe yet so there's a canister muffler on it and the cover is differenty colored as the red one is saved for the reso pipe version)

Julius,

Looking good there, thanks for the tip on the sponsons.

They kinda look like submarines.

Mike, is that picture taken with your new sponsons or are those the old ones? I had a similar picture with the old sponsons, the new ones make the whole boat lift more out of the water.

This picture is with the old ones.

Julius,

Very nice. Are the rear "winglets" set at a particular incidence?? Just curous.

Ron, the rear winglets are needed to bolt the rudder to. As the end is only about 8 millimeters wide I cannot bolt a rudder to it.

Mike, mine looked the same with the old sponsons, with new ones it sat much higher.
