My First Rigger FF18. It's finally partially finished!

I can't believe this I've come this far! I bought the FF18 plans in 12/2007 and started in 12/2007. It's ready for the water. Here are some pics: It's powered by an 0S tz18. I'm using a stock Miss Vegas turn fin, but have an upgraded turn fin too. What is the advantage of a wider turn fin? Does it allow you to go more shallow? Is a wide turn fin like a wide car tire on the street giving you better grip on turns?

Thanks to Tom M for the plans and the JAP Rigger Team for motivation to complete this project. Even though this isn't a JAP boat, it was built with the spirit of jap

THanks

Constructive criticism is welcomed!

1/2 jap, 1/2 firefighter, must be a jap fighter!

Lol,

Ya, J-Fighter for short. This is all for sport, not competition.
