whats the dimensions? maybe a bit less taper from the rails to tips (wider tips). Remember to keep it flat and fat!

Here are the dimentions, and as far as the taper I matched them as closely to the board as possible. It might be a little harsher but I think it should still work.

Id go 2 inches wider, with only a half to 3/4 inch taper in on the tips, starting no more than 3 inches up the rail. The way you have your dimensions in this pic, your fins are going to be ineffective. Take a look at my mini door pic and fin positioning. I remeasured and its 5 feet by 20"........................
Dont be put off by wider tips, most of it will be out of the water once youve planned and begin edging. Like I told you on the phone, all that laughed my first time out have used, and liked it!

I'm not discouraged by wider tips, I know it is the way to go, and give you more pop. I just figured those tips were the best out of all my attempts. It may look really drastic, but that first angle is only over 2 inches and that last angle is only over 2 inches. For each corner I am really only losing a square foot, on a 960 square inch board. This leaves me with an effective 916 square inches or 76 square feet......wait, thats way too big, what did I do??? :ticking:
