Default Anyone running Diamond Performance Tabs? (= K-Plane)

I've heard great improvements in rough-water handling on the Formula 292 can be made by swapping 280S K-Planes in place of the 12x12 Bennet trim tabs.

In the OSO classifieds I see a set of non-Mercury K-Planes from Diamond Performance, and they are significantly less $$, at least compared to the kit prices I've seen on line.

Has anyone installed these? Looking for any feedback on quality, comparisons to the Merc Racing assembly, etc.

Also, if you've purchased K-Planes as an addition to your boat, what did you end up spending, including install?

Thanks.

TTT: C'mon, nobody is running anything except the Merc Racing K-Planes?

K-Planes are probably gonna be a $3-5K investment (with installation), so if anyone has experience with Trick Marine or Diamond K-Planes, please speak up.

TIA

Default diamond tabs

Im new at this but i installed them this year on my 24 baja what a differance and i think they look the same as mine and mine are Eddie Marine. they respond very quick and just a touch and the boat feels like a different boat, really changed my plaining time I put them down throtel up and raise them boat pops right up instead of sitting there falling in the hole the prop is making.
