Does anyone have any real experience with "squaring" (90 degree) the trailing edge of the hull (wet surface) to the transom on a BAJA to get more speed?
I run a 240 Outlaw with a 502 EFI and would like a few more MPH ( currently 67 GPS) A number of articles suggest / promise 2-3 mph if the rounded edge is "filled" to be a sharp edge.
Also, short of a "body shop" placing a tremendous amound of gel coat at the edge and building up the rounded edge to a sharp corner, how can it be done; and can anything be used as a "temporary filler", which could be applied and if there is no speed improvement -- then removed without damage to the existing gel coat at the edge?
Thoughts from experience would be appreciated.
