Some people love them horizontal...some people, myself included, hate it. You cant extend the length of your boat when they are horizontal, your either up, or causing a serious hook.

Yes it is... The Pantera is a splash of the Excalibur...



How wide are your tabs ?

I'm using 280 K planes which are 14" wide..

If I mount them at the strakes they will interfere with the drive turning...

Found a few, but not the greatest as I had to get them off another website I had previously posted them on. A bit different setup than y'all with 400 pounds hanging 2 feet off the back, they do tend to drag a bit

I stopped by and talked to Dave as I know he does awesome work, but he isn't equiped to turn a crank and had no interest in porting heads.
I decided to just haul it out to LLano so I could get everything done in one place... Bob at FTM has been using them for years with no issues..
