NICE VERY NICE! No pad? Well I'm a little dissapointed however, there must be a reason, right? The deal in way the K-planes are mounted must balance the boat better? Looks like more lift woold be created like a pad bottom the way they are.
Anyone have a pic of one running in flat water so I can see how high it rides wet?

What's the benefit?

I've been told they work better at speed that way, not as good out of the hole.

Pads loosen a boat up and make it faster, but at what cost? Buy the Superboat put as much power as you want.

Lakeboat?...
- JC said my 24 would run 64, maybe 65. I'm running 70+. You can't always believe everything you read. Those test reports are not the bible Hugh, sorry.

The icon was roll eyes for sarcastic, the entry is designed for big water!! Also the test showed 71 with 3 men and 1/2 tank. $4$ Superboat.

Ok, I've been workin on some #'s on what I want on my Y2k if I order one. I think I'll build my own engine with a Imco drive. I need info on the cabin. Who has one of these Y2K's with a finished or partially finished cabin? I'm concerned about the 4' of headroom and the entryway looks really small. Any comments???
