260 pad is like the pic of the 30 pad.
Now, I was told the 260 and 280 pads are the same length.
Is that true?
How much longer is the 30 pad?

Andy, what is the water pic up for on the both sides of the pad! Seems like that would keep the props from getting "clean" water???? I'm a rookie, so don't hold that question against me if it is a stupid one!!!!!

Looks to me to be the pickups for the intercoolers.

I can't see any difference in the 30' pad vs 32' pad. ? except the 32 looks faster

The pads are the same width but the pad on the 320 is about as long as the pad on a 22 f00t boat where as for the pad on the 30,it is the correct length for the boat because it was designed and built to be a 30 foot boat.The 320 is a boat that was built out of the mold for the 41 and they just basically made a smaller boat out of it and that is why the running surface on a 320 is so short and there for it is a boat that is very difficult to keep on the pad.The more HP the boat has the better it will stay on the pad in a twin engine set up as for the 320 with a single,Kurt says that it rides at all speeds pretty goog but I will let him comment on it.

Seems like at speed, we are only running on about 3' 4' of pad anyway. So I don't see a longer pad doing anything if it isn't in the water.?
