Jeremy_H It looks like a good solid runner, is it the pond that is too small or is the boat that appears to be a little slow. Without having seen a lot of boats in real life it's hard to judge a video. There seems to be quite a wake behind the boat and running pretty wet. What I would like to accomplish is a method of using a traditional boat yet find some way of minimizing the wetted area of the hull by using the thrust angle to do it. Gotta be a way!!!
