Hi Craig,
I would say yes but can't back that statement up. I modified a Mystery by lifting the bow to the waterline over five feet and the stern a little less over four feet. I am in the same situation as you though. With no other Mystery's in the area I can't compare the change.
I am following your project with interest.
Best,
Reg
: Is there a way to impove the manouverability of the Mystery without
: compromising tracking/speed?? perhaps adding some rocker?
: If I build an ocean ski it will have an under hull rudder. I know the boat is
: meant to go straight but in an ocean race you eventually have to turn
: around and come back. I'm generally in the mid-field which can be crowded.
: My current ski has a turning circle like the Queen Mary. It is far worse
: than the other skis (epic,fenn,huki) and I have a real battle getting it
: around a can.
