Hi foilers!
I'm thinking to update my Starboard foil (IQ mast, 105 evo fuselage, 210 slr and 560 and 460 slr), but I'm not sure what update will be more evident in terms of speed. The new mast MKII c600 is an expensive part, but if looks like more stiff than the older c600 in torsional flexion, and with more stiff more control and more easy to go faster. And the profile is different. When I have seen the Phantom and zfins, the biggest diference was the rigidity (Now Starboard has similar wings)

But the Evolution fuselage look like more draggy than his competitors(Phantom, Z fins), and maybe it will be more perceptible upgrade to MKII fuselage. (and more cheaper).

What do you thing?

It's a never ending rabbit hole, might be time to sell what you have and start fresh with a different band
The pricing on the current stiffer Starboard masts is over the top
