k-planes on a 24-7...what size?
 

hello all. i'm restoring a '77' pantera 24-7 and i'm wondering what size k-planes everyone is running.

any insight would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, rob.

280's but be carefull ya don't trip and stuff it.

280s are perfect on that size boat

I have 300's and 280's I tried the 300 plates first but put 280's on and they are still a bit " touchy".

What do you mean by touchy?

My 24 had the 180s, and was not over sensitive.
Put on by the factory iirc.

I had 280's on my 24 Superboat. That's what I would recommend.

2nd that a friend put them on his SB 24 and loves them . I went from 280s to 380s on my 24 baja and loved them more. also put the 380s on the 28 saber. we get big water up here.

I have 280's on my 24 Cigarette Firefox. That's what I would recommend also.

One of the local guru's had 380's on his 24' Pantera - logic was that he didn't want a lot of tab deflection creating drag but wanted to keep the bow from flying. Worked very well, but you really want to keep them in the vicinity of level to get the best out of them at that length...it can get ugly if you don't.
