K-Planes or not???
 

I have a 30' Cobra Cat with twin HP500's. I've run it for a year and found the the 280S K-plane are never used. Everything I need to do can be accomplished with the drive trim.

I'm trying to move the CG forward and was looking for opinions about removing the K-Planes.

Do you think it will hurt resale? How much weight will I eliminate?

Thanks for any input.

Jeff:confused:

Hey Jeff, don't remove them for weight saving and wether they are used or not resale would suffer. Try pulling the pivot pin and see how it runs ? Peter says you'll pick up 2-3mph. I set mine just above level and leave them. They are just out of the water but if it gets rough, at times 3-4-5 footers, they will help. With the extension box, I just replaced mine with 380S tabs. Haven't tried yet though. See ya, Marty.

Thanks for your thoughts, Marty. That's kind of what I was thinking too.
