Location: Minnesota | I must say I got lucky with the Grunt. I made about 10 models with various lips ( metal and lexan) adn in various positions. About half ran great and two ran with the wide 24 inch wobble and did not blow out at high speeds. I still made soem firewood but, did not have many problems on the designs and running problems. Granted, my Grunt is big and the lip gives it a wide wobble. I think I would have a tough time making a 8-10 inch model with a huge wobble.
Here is my Grunt next to a 9 inch Grandma at 2.5 mph. I am getting video soon at 5mph+ until it blows out of the water. I have had it up to 7mph but not boat side like in the video. I will be curious to see how the wobble changes at the high speeds.
