How sharp are the edges? Only asking because bull reds can and will run under the rear and at will. Can the edges be polished smooth or rounded off?

Edges aren't that sharp, but you want to keep your line away. You could get tangled in the fangs or fins. If you can keep your line out of the keel you should be good.

Hearing you all mention an improvement in time to jump on plane...I may have to drop Jeff an email one of these days.
Altitude here takes a power bite out of everything naturally aspirated.

5/17/17 Another Viper review update to my previous post.

Updated video showing how the Viper does a great job at stopping the FSH sit and spin while at idle.

Jeff is the top end being affected in more mph or less. And yes people in the bow make it plow. Does the VIPER help this?

If you do a search for C J S VIPER there are a lot of posts from people using this system. Pretty well covering everything,
