The curent setup is one swept and one straight. Boat handles and runs great. I will chime in once I put the new ones on and let you know if there is any difference.

or maybe start a new thread on your awesome new cat so we don't keep hijacking this thread ?

You need to use only straight skegs on a twin cat. A lot of guys just grind the swept one to straight. How is the boat running? We should get together and run them!

Thanks PM'd you my contact info. I did not hear from you? I saw your boat at Tickfaw but did not see it out on the water. Figured you bought it from Brian Klinec with the 300X motors on it.

It will serve you well!

Hi,

Were you able to put on the twin straight skegs yet


I'm interested in your lefty 1.75 lowers if you still have it.

Nice DW! I ran that 32 before the lid was cut off to 117 mph with the 280s' screaming and threw it into a turn at 90 mph and she tracked nice and flat. It used to winter here in SC. Alot of work went into getting that boat ready to race. The fuel cells were built and installed to help the CG. I wouldn't waste your time with the 400s'. The 300x is a great durable motor.
As far as the swept back skeg I have run both and the diffrence isn't worth the investment. You can grind the tab off of the skeg. Congrats and enjoy!

bb,

would you have pics you can post to show the grinded skeg with no tab?

BulletBob what props were you running? 3 blade or 4 blade? I would like to find some 280's. It's hard to beat the reliability of the fishing boat motors though.

I have both of the 1.75's and I am planning on selling them. Fat Shafts, new bearings and REM finished gears. Less then 10 hours on full rebuilds with receipts. I agree, I could not tell a difference in the skegs.

If I remember correctly they were 5 blade Bravo style. I will ask this evening when I'm at the shop and get back to you. You would need the 280s' to turn the rpms.
