Ok I see that for racing, but for pleasure use would it be advisable to use 2 fins like Mitchell said was on his Jupiter? The Rear fin I mentioned was on a Scat Cat, and It apparently adds 1 - 3 MPH to your top end speed. I am concerned for safety, but for now only intend to run 10HP, so I wouldnt expect more than 25MPH.
Thanks for your input.
