Need mounting location for K-planes on Aggressor
Just received my 280S K-planes. I need to know where, specifically, the recommended mounting location is for these on a 2001 Aggressor. Where do you guys place them when installed OEM? Any pics of an Aggressor transom with K-planes installed?
thanks,
Mark

Get in touch with Lee I think he should be able to help you, or give Wayne a call up at Sunsation during the week. Maybe everybody is offline for a long Easter Weekend ? How's the boat coming ? Did Bruce raise up your X dimension ? What did he set it to ?

Regarding the x-dim. We are going with a 1" shortie - too little info out there about Aggressors with 2+" of x-dim change, so I'm gonna take it conservative. Boat is coming along slowly. Looks like not until the end of April, but that's not too bad.

I understand the slow part.... I was wanting to put a set of K-planes on this year, but you know funds, and all. I'll make a new set of tabs for the boat either during the season, or next winter. Have you determined if you're going to need a scoop or not yet ? I've got a buddy that has a Stellings extension box with "u" joints in it that can slide up, and down I think 2" so I may borrow it during the summer some time to see how it does with a higher X dimension. I'll let you know. Any chance you'll run the boat with your old drive a little to see what the difference is ?

Have you decided which length drive you're getting ? I'd be curious if there is any strength difference if you run the spacers or not ? If not, I'd order the 2" shorty, and both the 1", & 2" spacers.

Still undecided on the drive. Time to decide soon though.

Hey Kook,
I have some pics of my 24 Superboat with k-planes if you are interested. The hulls are similar, 7' beam, step pad bottom. Let me know if you want the pics.
Mine are not mounted flush with the bottom. They are about 1-2" above.
