I used to work on one . It was a 30 or 31. Maybe late '70's early 80's boat.

10-26-2009 07:57 PMThe ones i seen had no pad,,,and the reason why your X boss cut one on them ,,,is because they did not have one .
Everybody here in Sarasota in the boat business back then actually thought Reggie was grazy,,,,and he proofed them all wrong .LOL

Keep an eye out for a used set of 280 plates. They'll swap right out for the 380's. That is a lot of tab for a 24' boat...

I'll swap my 280's for the 380's. I've been looking for a set.

I like the 380's. They will be staying on, unless they come off to go on another hull. I can bury them all the way running slow and they don't submarine the boat or anything funny. When they are all the way up they don't touch the water so I don't see how I can be scrubbing speed in smooth water, and in rough water it takes very little tab to keep the bow down and flying level. Haven't found a downside yet.
