I should probably add that twin thrust vector eliminates 90% of the wander; with twins, pretty much all that is left is often margarita-induced......

Exactly Dixon! You want it to wander, just tilt the engine up at slow speeds, it will wander all over the place. All deep vee hulls do it.

So right, if I'm on the flats with it trimmed up and trying to rig something I look like I'm on crack or something.

As long as it tracks straight at fity I'm good
