Tunnel extensions? They can actually make you run quicker? I thought they were just kinda like Trim tabs on a v-bottom to help you plain out faster.. Perhaps I'm thinking of the wrong thing.. Can someone post a pic of a tunnel extension?

Donnie,I thought RD had a Nordic????? RD,if you want a pic, I send you one of my set up. They mount flush with the top of the tunnels. They allow me to run less up trim and get the stern out a little. Also gets rid of some of the mid range porpoise a lot of cats have.

Craig, I recieved your pictures! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif Good looking setup! I'm surprised that they don't extend down the sides of the tunnel as well. (Obviously not all the way to waterline, but ya know like a tapering up extension) Has anyone ever tried that?
I'm not really sure how these things work becuase it would seem to me that as soon as the air passed throught the tunnel it would just escape out the sides.. Do the make these that are hydraulic as well?

I originally had Bennett trim tabs there. Got the benefits of putting them down when I had to get a couple of big asses http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif on plane. Had to change over when I went to the external steering. It was just a mounting location conflict. The tabs are actually adjusted about a 1/4" down. As the air exits the tunnels, this tends to compress the air a little and give you some lift. Could be BS, but that's what we're told!!! I would think some vertical extensions on the side might help, who knows?? The boat does handle well above a hundred as long as the water isn't a washing machine. Then the boat will remind you there's only barely more then 20 feet from transom to bow, regardless of the fact that they call the boat a "22" http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif You going to be around Havasu this coming weekend?
