:ernaehrung004: Cool...pretty much the same as my '89. Do you have K=planes? Also, I'm interested in seeing the waterline when the boat is at rest, as I haven't had mine in the water, yet....busy building a garage for it this year while I get the engines ready.:musik010:
Do you have K-planes? Here's a shot of the boat at rest at LOTO over Memorial Day Weekend: |

I have the Bennett tabs on my boat. Figured I'd run 'em until they gave me any issues and then possibly upgrade to those Victory's. I was told LOTO will bend Bennett's. No problem yet in one season, but I'm probably being pretty nice to them.
Do you have K-planes? Here's a shot of the boat at rest at LOTO over Memorial Day Weekend: Yup - I have K-Planes that came with the boat, along with the Bravos - all untested by me yet - I can't post pics here anymore - you'll need to see http://forums.boatfreaks.org//vbgara...o=view&id=3610 |

Nice shot - not much water clearance to the pipes - do you run flappers? I picked up some Corsa mufflers which will stick out even further, so I think I'll haf to run flappers.

I have the Corsa Quick-n-Quiet set-up and, FWIW, when I come off plane, I'll often switch the exhaust through the drives or I'll come off plane gradually to keep the water from rushing up into the pipes. I'm having some fluid leak down the transom from my Bennett trim tabs. I need to look into that, too. |
What is the weight of a 25 Checkmate Convincor?
