hi jack, the strut needs to be under the hull,the drive dog cannot go past the tramsom.depending on what hull you want to run,the rudder is separate,mounted on either the left side or right side of transom.

also some boats run better with a flat bottom strut and visa versa. there are going to be a million opinion's on what motors to run.i have ran just about every one out there.same with props and pipes,many to chose from.depends how much$$ and serious you want to get. i have ran a os max 46 what would be consiered by todays standards slow and won div and national events with. the key is a good hull

strong dependable motor,right prop, and lots of trial and error..set up,trying different stuff and testing,testing and more testing.there are tons of guy's on here and at your local pond that will be more than

happy to help you out with anything you need,and never be afrais to ask questions,that'how you learn the best.good luck and welcome to the hobby and IW. mike costanzo.

So where are you planing to race? Check out some local guys boats if youhave anyone to help. The 40 sport boats do run the struts under the hull the strut can be set even with the transom.

Most everyone would get the struts and rudders and motor mounts from Speedmaster. There are a few other hardware manufacture too.

the strut needs to be under the hull,the drive dog cannot go past the transom Mike This is incorrect, the strut may not come past the transom, The drive dog however may, you might be thinking of the scale rules........Mike
