[quote]ORIGINAL: kvnnina Those are both really nice hulls. Have to keep them in consideration. I was thinking about maybe even going with an outrigger hull has anyone heard about or seen the aeromarine stinger? The Insane riggers are pretty nice too but a bit pricey.

I bought a lathe in 95, taught myself how to use it. Lindsay Publishing and Dave Gingery taught me a lot.

Have you tried swapping coils some times when they are weak they will fire a plug out side but not under compression.
