Seriously though, I had 280S K-Planes installed on mine and it definitely improved the ride and control compared to the stock Bennett tabs, but anything more than 3's on that lake will be a handful. 90% of our boating is on the Mississippi River, where a 292 is perfect! If you have the means, I would look into a 353 or 382.
I agree with this. good post.

Looks like a BS parade. I've seen those before, think they call them tours.

Ragged....that does sound a bit of an extreme.... I know your boat kicks butt and all...but 3-5's at 90 plus???? There are not too many boats (of ANY model) that can handle that.... safely!

It's a Fountain ...................... and I'm real good!!!



5's might be a bit of a stretch, but 3's are child's play.
Old 5 PM is challenged at 75 on flat water, but he's one of those engineer types,
drinks fancy wine and thinks way too much.

I'm more a Kentucky Bourbon drive it by the seat of your pants kinda guy.

You river folk kill me. I was in 3s on Ontario today, went to Fair Haven for dinner and we had a glass ride back. Benefit of being 20 minutes from your boat.....
