[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 216600, member: 1523"] I think I went into it a few pages back but the gist was to keep the wetted hull to a minimum by using a step to induce air similiar to what hydro racers do. Less wetted hull equals more speed. I'm not sure exactly where it went wrong, either weight balance or hydrodynamics of the pods sucked the rear down to induce the porposing. It's all worked out in the end, the tabs work well. I'm thinking of a way to make them active to help pop the hull out of the water either using springs or a handle under the seat. I've been working on this boat for three years and learning a lot in the process. Fender, no skills, only stubborn tinkering :) As a quick update, the boat is on jackstands while I reinvent my bunk setup. Jamie [/QUOTE]
