Strut Angle and Placement

[78Southwind]

How about Whip Struts? From what I have read some seem to believe they're useless.

You should bring that up in the propshaft thread I started.

They aren't totally useless. They can sometimes be useful for tearing the bottom of you boat out where they are attached.

I don't know Jerry, maybe it's just me, but I don't find this stuff that difficult to understand. I would like to see some basic principals laid out as rules to start with. There's fine tuning with everything I just don't understand why the basics can't be said.
That 1" per foot of hull that Bob Teague told me sure isn't that hard to understand. It's funny that he was the only one who said that though after asking multiple people for a couple months. After asking a few why on my boat the strut should be 20-23"'s I never got a definitive answer as to why. It was always, well that's what everyone says or does. Come on man, LOL, that's just craziness. You've put up some really good history of these old boats, it's a very nice little library you've made here. So why can we have a library of info on how these things actually work, and work right?

If it isn't that difficult maybe you could tell us all how to rig a 57 Mandella to run a 100 without porpoising including which prop and plate setting to use. Or how about a perfectly riding '65 Kalawain?

It would be great if an all knowing book or data base existed! We would all like that, but its not realistic. Maybe a database for the more successful and time tested hulls could be done. That would be a start but who wants to do it?

Jerry, you're killing me.
