Rudder boats are the shiznit!! If you want to go really fast this is the way.
Umm why does that look like a RC Bote'
Starboard ?
So sick.....one of my favorites is/was 36 Skater that went 202 with those big Sterlings.View attachment 923121

RD has some cash burning a hole in his pocket! I can feel it as he anxiously surfs the web with a smoke in one hand and Beer in the other! The jetmate was "just the tip"!
I forgot about Honey Party! So bad assOne of my all time favorite V bottoms was the Skater "Honey Party" that had Arnesons and aa rudder.
Here's a couple pics and some old vids of it.

The holes in the back? Probably for squirting out air or water to make the rudder itself have less drag? Seems like a very small gain but hey loldoes that rudder have a water pickup in it?
How is backing up with a rudder?
You want to get serious? Call John Cosker when you're ready to go fast.

I always thought the same about planesThe only SAFE way to go REALLY REALLY fast is with wings. I love Boat’s more than most but they have limits with really bad consequences when things go wrong. And it happens so fast you can do absolutely nothing to stop it

I think once you multiply "really" fast by two, you've pretty much thrown caution to the windThe only SAFE way to go REALLY REALLY fast is with wings.

Absolutely I wear a parachute daily same as a lifeline in a boat. The big difference is I fly 200 hours a year and sure I get out of shape all the time but there’s always altitude to get you out of the situation. Margin for error is key. But when you go 200 hundred miles an hour in a boat and get out of shape there’s not enough space or time to recover from an error. Your on a very hard surface at that speed.I think once you multiply "really" fast by two, you've pretty much thrown caution to the wind
Nothing happens faster, and also slower oddly, than things going horribly wrong at the controls of anything fast. That split-second between "Oh crap!", and suddenly challenging the laws of physics, seems to drag on. At least that's been my experience with wheels. As speed clicks higher, the risks taken increase exponentially.
Wait, I'm pretty sure I've seen video of you getting into a plane wearing a parachute. Doesn't that mean it's at least a little risky?

I couldn't afford that rutter setup! LolOne of my all time favorite V bottoms was the Skater "Honey Party" that had Arnesons and aa rudder.

Island race? Man, I am so out of the loop. How'd you hear about that? Please don't tell me I gotta join FaceBook to be connected, lol.After watching the live streams of the Catalina Island race today... I found some great pictures of the surface drive setup on Nigel Hook’s 48 Silver Hook Powerboat. Interesting to me they spin them out. Most of the time it’s spinning in on stagger V bottoms.

Speaking of serious, whats up with the quad MTI parked out front of Horizon? Freaks me out that its not in the showroom. For sale I assume, is it new or used?
Anyone know the price? (asking for a friend)
