Thanks Dreamin Hemi.
I have added a bit more height to the sides.I wanted to take down such an agressive rake in the front.
I plan on building the strut from some brass tube and a flat.Has anyone built there own strut succsesfully?I don't have a lathe but with a drill press,dremmel,hack saw,cooping saw and many files i can useally come up with something if i can get pointed in the right direction.

How can i figure out how deep to run the rudder?Dose it go below the depth of the hull(the v)

I have looked and readsomany threads about the wildthing so many that i can't remember where i read what.I'm trying to figure out how far from the transom the prop should be.IIRC for a boat of this size 24'' it should be between 2.50''-2.75'' i was going to set it at 2.75'',what do you think?

Could i run the prop directly on my 1/8'' flex wire and just have the stuffing tube run out to where the prop needs to be?I have seen set ups that have no strut just a stuffing tube sticking out with the prop on the end and a rudder for steering.That would seem less complicated to set up am i thinking wrong?
