volvo penta sold them as rocket rails. will smith from phantom boats had something to do with them as well.

Will Smith always liked this idea. He made his own and put them on our Phatom at every race. They never lasted the entire race in one peice. The screws would come out or the rail would break in half. Way to much load in the ocean for these things. Think Lakes.

We have installed these on a few boats. We'll be happy to keep you updated on how they respond to the different applications. So far, the biggest advantage I've seen is the price, they are definitely the most bang for the buck if you consider how much some of you will spend just to get those extra miles per hour.

They actually create LESS drag - more lift, more efficiency, lower planing speeds, less load, lower cruising speeds, less fuel consumption... it's all good.

Keeping them on, well... we'll see. I'm sure this part will need perfecting.

(When Gene first tried a set of them, he installed them on his Ski Nautique. Needless to say, everyone was upset because there was no more wake)
