....When it gets above zero and I can shovel my way into the trailer,I'll pull some measurements off the arltralite.I was thinking I could add a pad of sorts on each side of the trailing edge and keep em slightly above the bottom so they would only touch the water if the front came up too high.That happened a lot with the 3cyl omc.We finally removed about 6" of flight surface between the sponsons,leaving the nose unchanged.This helped a lot.I think the boat is about 12-6 overall. It only weighs about 115,rigged. The iron packed into the 3cyl omc makes this rig hard to balance . We have to run tucked under about 1 1/4 " . The boat will air out flat but when the motor weight settles it in like when the prop looses a bite,you end up with the bow up.When that happens at speed,it wants to go into launch sequence.I keep thinking with the light weight of the pro motor,we would be just right and would be able to get the motor angle closer to parallel.What do you think.
