more. You can see in the first photo how low one lip hangs below the body and the larger plug the lip doesn't hang below at all, kind of even with the body. The second photo shows that also.

Also thanks to the guys that sent me eyes for the plug . I like them but I didn't love them. Hopefully you will not be offended but I wanted the exact eyes so I made them myself, very simple stuff. I will find another use for the ones sent. Here are a few examples of some out of different materials I found around the shop. I think I will use the brads instead of the screws as I like the look of no screw head. I know the original's used brass but I will use strainless. Probably go with the white and black, but the clear with a color underneath could look nice too.

I just finished a goo goo last night...smaller version and center drilled like my model. I'm inetersted in seeing the reponse on this as well. I didn't notice differences on my other goo goo models. I will have to compare them tonight. Thanks for pointing it out, otherwise I may not have noticed. I plan on swimming the one I finished yesterday probably Friday.....I'll let you know the test results.

Neither one I have are drilled for the lip on the center of the body. Either above or below the center line. Maybe it was just shoddy workmanship and it didn't much matter where it ended up of maybe there was a method to their madness.

I kind of figured that but it is mounted on the face of the plug much lower than the blue one. If the lip, on the yellow one was in the shape of the lip on the blue one , original shape, it would still be a lot lower than the blue. Like stated above may be it was done for a reason or it really didn't matter that much. I needs to know.

the doz. or so I own are all like the blue one..screws are all mounted at the top in the curve of the nose.As the newer one's are still on the top but more on the flat[face] of the nose. I think in time they found it simpler just to drop the lip alittle and screw into the flat of the face.Looks like the person who owned the yellow one wanted more of a side to side action out of the plug's tail and closer to the surface then the go deeper with roll.More of a surfster type action.
