I see you have a boat in mind. Don't forget you need full hydraulic steering . Real merc 280 tabs with indicators and at least an xr drive and hp gimbal . . The stock 271 tabs are worthless . Would not even consider tying these speeds in a 271 without the other upgrades . . Jeff wurl
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.
