The basic dimentions are on the board page,Scott W. built one for himself with guidance from me.You can archive that info. under his name and/or my name. Whatever this doesn't answer comeback here and fire away.Herb

Bones, The nose and general outline is derived from an old 1973 Lis kneeboard template. The fins are custom recycled fins.The main twins are 5" base by 4-1/2" tall,the trailing edge is 1-1/2" off the rail,and 7-1/2" up from the tips.The toein is to the tip of the nose.The cant is 4 degrees. The Superchargers are 3-3/8" tall,and 3" base with a tipped forward template(you take a normal thruster side fin and Tip it forward about 5-10 degrees,and cut or grind the base of the fin down,to match that setting).The trailing edge is up 10.5"-11" and are off the rails about 3/4"-1",and toed 2" pasted the nose.The cant of the chargers are 5-6 degrees.Hope this helps,and GOOD LUCK,as it took me many tries to figure this out.(my bro will be most likely at the same place sunday,and me ? maybe there,or maybe zooport).Herb
