    Well, 1st testdrive behind. That bend trailingedge is too much so i grinded it off. Right side is now straight but still that wing profile is left.
    It was so much that had to turn steeringwheel 20minutes to the left , so that boat went straight!😁. To be continued!

    At least you tried something new, so you and others know it wouldn't work.

    Kudoos for doing that, and nice welding work by the way.

    Thanks for saying that!
    I have another under construction, straight but widened on every direction. Have to make sure it stays in line on rough conditions! Pics are on the way��.
