I try to explain things the only way I know how, simple. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know everything. When a man stops learning, it's time to die. I have been around these small boats for over 40 years, can't help but learn something. That little bit of knowledge took me to 2 World Championships, so some of it works. The difference between me and second place was about 500 hours of testing. NEVER stop trying to improve, you're either going forward or going backwards, there is no standing still.
The secret to getting the most out of a boat is to keep trying different things. There is no one thing that fixes a problem. EVERY boat is different, even within the same brand.
When you begin to understand hydrodynamics, you begin to understand why a ____ does what it does. Insert a word in the blank, boat, motor, propeller, weight shift.
I always try not to sound condescending. If I ever do, please tell me, it is not intentional.
I have a different prop for the 40/50 tohatsu 4 stroke next week. I'll keep you guys posted on the test results. I keep searching and trying different design props, someday I'll find the best.
