how has everyone liked them? Pros and cons?
I'll start with the Cons
Cons
-steering much more stiff. Then without.
I had them off this weekend and was night and day difference.
-i couldn't ever get a super clean wake dialed in on my boat. That is partially because we don't go out and surf for hours. Wife and I grt out surf and couple runs each and then head to an island somewhere to hang out and let kids play. Then head to tube on way back in.
Pros
-the tubing did have reduced spray
-the slow speed steering was improved, but idk if it was enough to outway the heavy steering.
-fuel economy on my sx230(2006) and TVW on i can cruise at 7100rpm and a speed of 23mph 9.7gph. Today at 710rpm I was holding about 19mph and burning 10gph. To match the speed I had to get up to 8000rpm and it was close to 12gph.
-i had noticed it planed quicker when cruising and cut through wakes easier.
Let me know what else yall have found/experienced.
