Hey Jeff ! Yea I went with twin ram hyd. steering on my 252. Removed the chine walk up to 75. Dont know above that, because thats the best ive seen so far.

Hope you make it to our Fun Run this year !!

There was a member on OSO (PAST DUE) that has/had a '97 Fastech 312 running over 100 mph. He sent me a picture of a type of fin installed on his K-Planes. He claimed it really settled down any chine walking. He hasn't been active on OSO for years and I don't know where he got them or if he made them himself. I also recall someone saying that Sunsation would install these on K-Planes on some of their boats. Just some food for thought.

Here's a vid of him running rock solid at 98.4 mph.

I do know the boat and should see him next month at the smith mountain lake poker run if he still has it. Jeff wurl
