Check out this rig! I wonder how much that costs! They are claiming a 10% efficiency increase!

Rawleigh, A freind of mine did something simalar with nylon tube between his struts. $$ was less than 500 and he also claims close to 10% in speed (2knt) and better burn. Probably do it to the tubbbbbbbb next winter, unless I find I don't have enough projects this year
