Re: Now I've seen everything . . .

Sorry deejay, you have waaaaaaay more 'sperience with small boats and OBs than me, but do you really think that a relatively massive batwing, surface piercing, horizontally debilitating, stern jacking, trim altering, hydrofoil "stabiliser" is doing anything but slowing down a 5 bhp OB?

I actually have no experience with kickers etc. I do have a 5 bhp OB on a 14 ft. aluminum boat that does plane. It is also very trim sensitive, so I can't see how sumpin' like that could be anything but . . . uhhhhh . . . weird. I should do some testing, but I'm a) skeered and b) not sure how I could hide that wing while launching :$ 8)

I know they work on some stuff, some times . . .

tommays, you should suggest them to your sailboat racing friends, I'm sure they'd help those too . . . Why not? It worked for Australia II . . .

hehehe, I have big trim fins on a 5hp and it pushes it out on plane much faster than normal .... so it works for me .....

Remember to wear your masked cruisader cape with your high speed set up. It looks great blowing in the wind! ( If you're out of a cape. A big beach towel attached with a close pin works well too!

My does this bring back a flood of memories from my childhood in the sixties! I'm going to get my Batwing and put it on my 3 1/2 hp Westbend and give it a go!
