Got rid of my porpoise
 

Hay guys Pete at skater helped me out with a tunnel tab works awesome like a new boat did it last year just now posting Pete is a great guy to work with

You can Tidy up those trim hoses a bit :) I'm sure those are just on till you get the new ones done, Right?

How did you guess you win you get to hold the go pro on the back of the boat so we can see what it does lol

I'll Do It :) Once at Cougar I sat on the back of a 30' Cat with arneson drives (the tunnel extended back about 1/2 way to the props) going 100+ mph down the intercoastal taking pics of the drives and props at speed. Back when Arnesons first came out.

Nice work Jim, what's it made out of carbon?
No hinge just flex like a race style tab?

Don't have a ton of cat knowledge. Does the tunnel tab work by the air in the tunnel or actually touch the water?

Yes

It's mounted level w/ top of the tunnel so at idle & low speeds its in the water but at high speeds when the tunnel is packing air & the hull is riding on a cushion of air the tab is more so restricting the Air from escaping the tunnel resulting in stern lift.

Thanks guys.

Everyone's a Comedian...
