[hpv-boats] Outriggers

       Had the boat out on Saturday afternoon at the lake.
Weather was calm so I raised the outriggers another
20mm. The boat boat felt a bit unstable with the outriggers
just touching the water. Cranked the speed up for a few
sprints but as I don't have a GPS couldn't tell you the
speed. The straight shaft enables me to push hard without
hitting a dead spot, the shaft angle of 16 deg means a 
loss in efficiency. Quite a bit of weed about so I mainly 
stayed down the southern end trying to pace the sailing boats. Current setup has a skeg which adds to the drag 
and might try a smaller rudder next time. Overall pleased
with the way the boat is, light to carry and quick and
easy to setup.
