Doug-
Your Jag turns and wallows like many cats at low speeds.The Daytona and Chris Cat I had were like that too, as is a friends Skater. Once they pack some air, they come into their "own".
My blower engines are pretty good, but occasionally one or both die during shifting when trying to dock and that can be annoying.

Please keep me posted on your progress. We're getting ready to rig the engine compartment and I'll post photos in the Jaguar Owner's Forum.

Thanks for the information!
John

THATS WHY I SPIN THE PROPS IN TO HAVE LESS TAIL LIFT AND I AM TAKING THE SPACERS OUT OF THE DRIVES THIS YEAR TO GIVE IT LESS TAIL LIFT. IT SHOULD RUN 150 THIS YEAR SEE YA:D

Mine are turning in .When several "experts" told me that the boat would perform better turning out I asked that Johnny try it. He told me that it probably was a waste of time since every 36 he rigged or tested turned in . But since he had not tested one with my power he would try it. As usual he was right the boat rode horrible ,Johnny coulden't get it off its nose, I think we topped out at 90. So much for that. What's happening with your boat is it almost ready. Are you down here? Call me I'd like to take you out for a ride.

Jeff, Thanks for the information. The boat should be done later this month. I'll have Peter call John T for his tips. I'm up north now.

If you run a lot of flat water you'll really like the way the boat performs with them spinning in, it handles great that way too. However, if you run a lot of rough water spin them out, the boat will be slower in the calm but it handle 100 times better in the rough. The boat was setup by the best when it comes to 36's or just about any cat.

Here is out
