    Russ, how is your low speed steering affected with your straight gate? My boat wouldn't turn against the gate in idle. not surprising as my gate is at 22.5 degrees and is over twice the size of the rudder...

    There is certainly extra steering drag but not enough that it is a huge problem. Certainly still noticeable.

    Leave it to you to make one that works on both sides. Nice friggin job! I am waiting for a template for one that works on the '06+ LSV's. After riding Russ's boat I am on board but there is no way I'm going to experiment around and try to figure it out. Nice job! Keep us posted.

    I've been tempted to buy the manual flow but haven't heard anything good about it yet.

    I don't wanna be the guinea pig...

    This took an hour and used some leftover materials. I'm gonna fill my 4100lbs of blasts and see what happens...

    Don't have any crew this weekend, so I can only watch..

    I feel for you on that one. It gets like that for me in Sept. I've thought about getting college kids from FSU to fill out the crew.

    No, you need your Daddy's Malibu for that one.

    I actually have peeps that want to ride. I haven't had a chance to shake down the boat yet and they only speak Korean.

    I always think they're plotting to kill me, I try to distract them on the way out so they need me to get back to the dock.. Maybe I'm paranoid..
