Bolt-on replacements for 280 K-planes?

Got my attention now!

Those are bolt ons.....

:sifone: But are they easy on, easy off ????? And I'd never powdercoat those tabs, I don't think they'll ever rust anyway.

GLH - Those look like they might create bow-steer. More like forward ballast... Send them to me, and I'll let you know how they work.

Think they'd improve your handling?????

I just wonder how they effect the ride.. :26:

Sean - Thanks for the call. Do you think that I could borrow your 380 plates to see how they work? If they do what I'm looking for, we'll make a deal on exchanging them for my 280 plates.

Has anyone else done this swap on a 382, or other tail-heavy boat?

No problem pal!!!!

I'm taking my 280 K-planes off to refurbish them this winter and was considering replacing them with billet tabs for more transom bling. Who makes good ones?

1. Eddie Marine
2. Latham
3. Others?

Lathams are the ultimate in bling, and they incorporate the same K-Plane bolt pattern that you have. Anything else would be just...less.:USA:

The Latham tabs are works of art.
