I Installed One On My Spectra 19 I Use For Ski Racing It Made A Big A Big Inprovement At All Speeds. Try A Drop In 5ft 5inchs From Transom.or Give Tom Papp A Call He Will Set You Up.

Hey Rampager, sharpen it up real good, maybe you can just slice it right through a beaver dam. You'll probably get a lot of flack from PETA, but who cares?-Aluminum Squirt

well Jim ... you could look at the intake fins and make a judgement call, right?
every fin will be different ... and a fin for a KJ that is built for higher speeds might be a bit much for what you're currently doing ...
my .02 ... but I get dizzy going in circles, don't listen to me ... :)

Ohhh you crazy ass'd canooks. You got some weird beavers up der eh?
This is the American Colorado River beaver. These beavers don't build no damned dams where we boat.

Brian, I think we are running pritty damn hard into the corners being we have to keep our average speed up higher with the 80.9 max deal. But I am looking for info just for info. I am running what Tommy suggested, with a few mods for aplication.
Those mudhens on your lake suck !:D
We had a great time and hope that we can come back.

Jim, I have one of those drop in fins that I removed from the Roger's a few seasons back(you and I had conversation over the phone regarding it, remember?). I can give you measurements from it and the original location from the hull if it would help?
