[QUOTE="majkowskid, post: 227424, member: 5115"] TODAY WAS THE FIRST TEST RUN! I need some help though to all whom have built one of these. please look at my pics in my first post to reference bottom of boat. i'm having MAJOR cavitation issues. like BIG TIME. on perfectly flat water, i hit 41 mph via gps. if there is ANY waves, it starts sucking air majorly. water has to be like glass for it not to happen. i'm thinking its mostly from the ribs that are on the bottom of the boat. these are structurely important as the boat hull is thin, but i'm wondering if i can cut "gills" into it to help direct water from outside the ribs to inside them... besides that i don't know what to try. i already have the spoon idea going, but i'm guessing i didn't construct it the right way. i seriously think 99% of it is from the ribs though. if anyone has any suggestions (ranchero50) i'd appreciate it! someone told me about an intake grate that has a scoop built into it that would probably help... worth a shot??
