How about a new "Boat Test" or "Dialing In" Section?
 
I always have questions about dialing in my boat to get every last bit of performance, but don't feel it's appropriate for the GD section or the Technical Q&A section.

How would anyone feel about a new "Boat Test" or "Dialing In" section for anyone who wants to know of other's trial and errors and what worked the best for them? This might be a great way to save big $$$ learning from others... :D

i think itd be a great idea. especialy a place to share experiences with mods like spacers extension boxes diff style props etc on certain hulls.

Exactly, I'd really like to see who's tried what, so I can forget about what doesn't work and "do" what does work.

I'm really surprised about the lack of interest?? :rolleyes:

I see a lot of BS, drama & mudslinging in the GD section to the point of the forum getting shut down temporarily, but nobody's interested in getting the best performance out of their boats?? :rolleyes: What gives here?

The one problem I see is that "Identical Hull" is key to this and someone may have very different results (negative) to a guy that just gained 2mph doing the same thing. I think the owners forums are the best way to get that kind of info. Not saying this is a bad idea or it's not possible just giving another opinion :D

Remember the Stern Jack :(
