at times it does burp a bit out the front but not the mist that some cats suck up from the rear
Sounds like they need to go up a hole or 2 Rosco to me. I think Kevlacat set them up too low from factory to be honest.
My 5.2 had 70s from factory that were too low. When I repowered with f60s i got them up a few holes and it was a completely different boat.
Alot more trim, would turn on a dime and just felt alot more alive.
Yep they do sneeze a bit must be the narrower tunnel.
How are you finding the ride after the 2400??
Cheers
dean1 it went up 2 holes today and looking at it I reckon it looks right now, its the same as frosti's now..the mechanic who lowered them reckon there pretty close now as well..to be honest mate in a following sea the 1900 kills the 2400..head on well biggest seas ive had it in is just over a mtr and it ate that up.. prob walks a bit more in a rear quarter sea.. time will tell but I pretty sure it will do everything the 2400 would do at 28knts the 1900 will do at the 22-23knt mark...best thing is the fuel usage and how easy it is to tow around...still playing around with it so see what I think in another month or so
cheers rosco

Yeah they are real easy to tow etc arent they.
And yep kick arse in a following. Interesting you say better than a 2400. I went in a 2400 once but came home late at night i cant remember what it was like.
Ive come home in some nasty stuff at night alot and it did it with ease.
I used to own the black marlin that lovey80 now owns.
Ill be back in the market in a few yrs but what cat it will be im not sure yet.
6m + i think.
Cheers
id have another 2400kc again in a flash.i looked at a few 2300nc what I was going to buy but nothing really jumped out and said buy me...when I seen a 1900 with 60s on it I went for a test run was underpowered in my opinion but I liked the boat,when this one come up with the 90s I jumped at it.was for sale for 3 days when I bought it sight unseen subject to visual inspection..nice clean boat

Ye the 60s are a bit painfull.
Strangely theres bugger all cats for sale lately like everybody's hanging onto them.
Id hate to be trying to find a good cat atm.
Youl pick up 3,4 kts speed too lets us know the result.
Cheers
You going to try the permatrims at the new engine hight mate ? Be good to compare with the new hight with and without trims ...
...........GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO BAIT.........
Kevlacats dont need permatrims. They were probably put on there because the engines were too low and it didnt perform correctly.
Yes I understand that .. But if the holes are already in the cab plate why not bolt them back on and go for a run
