BHarvey- Glad to see another tail project in the works. Make sure you like talking to strangers, because you WILL get a lot of questions... and pictures... and double takes.

I've tapered both vertical and horizontal on mine, though, with the plummeting temps, I can't quantify the effect.

I've also read somewhere(Aerohead) that smooth air is needed to properly feed the tail( I made sure the belly pan was in place before the tail). I am trying to get someone on standby for the next snow storm to do some snow wake videoing.

Looking forward to your build thread.
