    OK I have seen a lot of circle boats that have fins at the rear of the cave plate, those turning stabalizer fins are they help full ??? or are they to help from spinning out ??? Been thinkin they could help with the tracking on my jet if mounted on the ride plate do you guys agree ???
    Thanks

    They definately help, I am not sure how big of a difference it is. I would think on a flatbottom it would help a good bit, but it comes down to if you want to turn you are creating more drag, in which will cut down your mph, could cut it down by as much as 5mph.

    I used them back in the day but not now and I don't see any difference, execpt I don't have to take a hammer and straighten them out everytime I take the boat out of the water, I don't think anybody uses them any more!..

    I saw them on K-50 and K-8 dont know how many others use them still.
    I was thinking of getting a set, I know where one is right now.

    That is pretty much a must in all B boats.

    My thinking is you could go faster and turn without spinning out, being a jet there is not much in the water for me.

    You dont think they help much? I guess it is a waste of money then...

    I will take it from experience, if you have ran with and without them.
    Thanks again Art.
