Re: K planes on a 280

If it were me I'd keep the 380s and mount them flat.

Re: K planes on a 280

thanks guys, all good looking equipment.
mr.velocity, that was my first thought.
Starflite, is that a 280 twin?
Thanks again

In the usual configuration (loaded with beer and gas.... and light-wieght bikinis!) it is a 78 mph boat.

Besides making it a breeze to get on plane with a race-labbed hydro, the tabs make all the difference in keeping the ride tolerable (ie- no broken beer bottles in the cooler and no bruises underneath the aforementioned bikinis!) while still running with the big boys (65+) in 2-3 footers.

AMEN to that one ( can keep up with anybody)

They both are but were called 26's back then.

The 1992 boat in the top pic had twin OMC King Cobra drives and 351W small blocks.

The 1995 boat in the bottom pic had Bravos and Merc 350(ci)EFI's.

Re: K planes on a 280

I didn't know they made the 26 in a twin i/o. I have a 1995 single 26.
