Great! Again thanks for all the tips. I shaved and sharpened the rudder. I balanced and sharpened a 2 blade prop that I didn't mutilate. My Skeg strut will be here tomorrow. I will bring some shims, but I kept thinking in my head that this is not solving the problem, just compensating and creating unnecessary drag. My rudder is not paper chip thin like that on my hydro. It's beefy and that can't be good. I think this weekend will show good results....and I am only taking one boat this time.

You'll get her dialed in I'm sure.
