Rear sponsons

[Grimracer]

One thing you do not have with a rigger is as much air compression. Truth is this can be good and bad but it is part of why we do not need rear sponson on our full body boats.

Thanks for all of the input.

Our sport hydro turns very well and it doesn't have rears obviously and doesn't have a chine on the side either. Our new gas "rigger" is not going to look like a typical nitro rigger so we will make them adjustable and removable if need be. I see some benefit to having them, but see some negatives as well. Our sport hydro (approaching 10 second laps) is faster than most gas riggers, so this tells me if we design a rigger the way a sport hydro should be designed without rules...we should be that much better. What do you say Mr. Finch...want to play?

Thanks for all the input!

I have had the idea of making one of your whips into a rigger for a year now. I would LOVE to team up with you on a rigger design based on the whip. Call me on my cell.
