Default change in plans, need help

Hello Everyone,
My plans for the M-1 Supercat hull are probably gonna change cuz my deadline for the boat is getting close and the M-1 Supercat hull might not come in time.
I decided to probably use the aeromarine 37" shadow sport 40 hull.
Because I might use use a hydro hull, I need some help cuz I'm so used to cat hulls.[sm=frown.gif]
How big a turn fin should I use?
How high/low should the strut be?

Email this guy for a Sport 40 turn fin...he does a great job and they are cheap.

As far as strut goes it all depends on the boat but I would start at about 3/4" and see what the hull does. If the back end is dragging you can try to lower the strut some but just remember the lower the strut the more the prop is in the water and the higher the amp draw.
