Aussies

[AZLineman]

So if you live in breathe this go fast shit like I do then you know that Aussie’s know how to go fast on both land and water and I’m always watching them on those rivers hauling ass with and without skiers and just about every single v drive boat has fins on the outside of their cav plates like below. I’ve been pondering this for a while now and thinking about bending some up on the brake.

Do it!

The bolt on ones thru the plates like the outdrive boats use may look a bit cleaner

That is an amazing vector and I see exactly what you’re talking about I have some similar drop-thru fins. I like that idea.

The real question i have is what are they trying to cure with it?

assuming some chine issues? Maybe its something i'm not fully processing, but thats all i can come up with.

and if thats the case, why not fix the issues with the hull instead of doing it this way?

I don’t think it’s a band-Aid because I see it on a lot of them. I think it just aids in high speed stability.

It is probably to help keep the tail from sliding out when they turn on a single buoy during a race.

Man I couldn't agree with you more and I am hooked watching the Aussies. It would be cool to see one of these run the GN class in here in the states

They sell the finns for cav plate there on a lot of circle boats I had a few sets in stock they don't bolt on underneath u cut a slot in the plate and they drop thru.

I don't recall how many years it's been, but they sent a few over here for some demonstration races. I've lived in Parker nearly 10 years, I guess it was when I was first out here. One even came to test at my place to use my launch ramp. I guess they were hoping the boats would catch on here and they could sell some. The ones they sent over were running 2nd hand Nascar Dodge engines they were buying and turning 9000 rpm.
