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?

Precision

Yes

NASCAT

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.
