You wouldn't want to go any smaller than 1/8 scale with a 90 I would
think. I don't know the length of the real Notre Dame, but most
unlimiteds are somewhere around 28 to 30 feet long if I'm not mistaken.
That would make a 1/8 scale boat about 43 inches give or take an inch or
so. I'm no expert but I would start with the bottom of the strut even
with the bottom of the sponsons and parallel with the bottom of the boat
and adjust from there when you see how it runs. I would put the strut
about 1/8 inch to the right of center if it were me and balance the boat
at about the center of the turn fin. Like I said I'm no hydro expert,
but that's where I would start with the setup.  Doug
