Default Two hydro turn fins?

Hello Everyone
The question is in the thread subject. Will two hydro turn fins create more stability? (one on each sponson) Or would they be making a lot more resistance in the water?

Just more drag...I wish I didn't even have to use one. I ran my rigger one time without a fin and it moved. You would be suprised how much a turn fin slows a boat down but without it the boat just doesn't turn.

But would a hydro be able to turn well both ways with two fins?

If you want a hydro to turn both ways that would most likey be the only way. Your other option would be to get a tunnel hull or Cat if you want to go both ways. Hydro's are really only meant to turn well in one direction.

One turn fin ONLY.

Two will flip it as they'd fight each other.

Two fins on one side = Spinout

Two fins one on each = Barrel roll
