K Planes

Pumps rigged on the transom for space etc..

The gauge pic needs a reshoot.... Next time..

looks good, some serioushardware

nice job Blue, those are great looking trim tabs. Hope she runs well.

Nice!! That's a ton of tab for a 242. Won't take much to get them to make a difference.

Thanks guys,

Yes, a lot of tab, but, I also have a Stellings box, an IMCO SC with a -1 shorty, and another 588 "big motor" with a N/A rating of 700HP, and a forced induction goal of about 1000HP that will go in the boat with the next setup change. I wanted to do things in steps so I can see if there are valid performance increases, and then keep the best stuff on the boat..

The big tab idea was that the boat will be running pretty much on the tabs and extension box with gobs of power, and in any case, the 380 Bottom plates interchange with 280 Bottom Plates..

Thx for the kind words, I'll keep the posts updated as I test etc..

rest of boat..

Be very very carefull with those tabs. It will not take much at all to put the bow under water. On our race boat (30 foot Superboat) it actually went a bit slower with the long tabs.

Heard that!

Those are 380's???? The 280's would be more than enough in my opinion.

Thanks for the tip.. I will be careful. As the 280 bottom plates interchange, I will switch if I need to..
