No Bennet (the professionals) is the one that told me not to run drop fins not parallel to the center line of the boat/ or when the transom is curved.that runs 100% contrary to the engineer from Bennett's advice. The drop fins are specifically recommended over additional chord or width unless you change the mounting, hinge, and actuators. Best of luck to you on your modification. I'm sticking with the professional's advice on this one.
As far as chore or width. They also told me it will help and my boat should have had larger tabs from the start....
Do they recommend making your own? No they want to sell me some 24inch ones.. and yes with 24 inch hinges.
But it’s been proven a lot that it’s a huge help on this hull and no issues to report.
Guess we will see. Mounted painted and underwater lights on them now.
Dipping tomorrow
