I vote for dual turn fins... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...od=ose-506b80a Basically they stay in the water when the boat hops around and keep it from rolling.

Not to shoot it down either, I think it's worthy of doing, just with a different boat.

that's what i thought it mite be. maybe i can somehow move the propellerso it comes out the rear and sticks way out behind it??
