Hi guys, I got the boat in the water and was very pleased with the performance.

My question to you guys is, when in the water and going slowly the boat does not turn!,
the rudder turns but the boat doesn't.

I need to speed the boat up before it starts to turn, when I get the boat on plane the boat turns very well.

C of G is spot on, I feel though the boat sits a little low in the water, what is the thinking on this?

Also the boat hops when going strait, what could this be?

please look at my setup and let me know what might be the problem?

do I need turning fins?

I understand what they do, but my brothers Shockwave 55 doesn't have any turning fins, but has dual rudders.


thanks
