But who knows? Can you post some pics?

I thought they were 24" but i could be wrong. Boat is in storage now but I took some pics earlier this year, I just have to find them. I have the plates in my basement so I will measure those.

They are in good shape, I'd say a 9 out of 10. Also, I can have them powdercoated if you wanted a special color.

Ben, you know the Dana cylinders on the tabs look that same as on the k-planes. I wonder if you could change out the plates?

You are running fast. I am still trying to figure out what I can do to beef up my 496. Runs great, but just does not have the top end I wanted. Only recs so far are to go bigger on carb and more aggressive cam. If I recall correctly, I already have an 850 CFM.

Could just sell the engine I have now and get a different one too. :lolhit:

You do you know how far below your hull your prop shaft is. Other think I am looking at is whether I should try a shorty or not.

I'll bring it to LKN in the spring and spend a weekend with you and steve

I like where this is going...:grinser010:

Another Pantera 24?:party-smiley-004:
