I had my 292 on Lake Erie, but not in 3-5's. The waves on the lake are a lot closer together than the long rollers of an ocean. Would make for a very rough ride. If you are set on the 292, expect to sit out on those days with the NE winds...:D 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.

Sorry guys I did not try and contradict what Daredevil stated. I believe he had or has driven a 292 SR1 and I believe we are talking about a 292 fastech. Two completley different boats. 292SR1 is a much larger boat.

About 2 feet.....

As far as the Fountain "river boat", it eats 3-5's at 90+. You do that often?
Opps, forgot you can't even run 90.:rolleyes: |
Looks like a BS parade. I've seen those before, think they call them tours. :coolcowboy:

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!!! :D 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. :lolhit: I'm more a Kentucky Bourbon drive it by the seat of your pants kinda guy. :drink: |
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.....
