Does anyone know if you can choose to have lifting strakes installed on the inside vs. the outside (2 tube 21 SSRCX)? I've read that having them on the outside reduces turning performance and would prefer to get them on the inside if possible.

Is this going to be on a two-toon boat? If so it will still turn flat. We had lifting strakes on our 22 sslx and it jumped up on plane but turned very very flat. Unless you have a pivot point under the boat (SPS, ESP) your not going to enjoy fast hard turns.
 
Thank you lakeliving. It will be a two-toon boat. I understand with two 'toons it wont handle anything like a boat with SPS or ESP but I guess my question is will having outside lifting strakes make it handle worse than a two-toon boat without lifting strakes?
 
I would think the difference would be minimal. I would go with the standard package. Otherwise you're losing half of your planning surface for all the times you will be traveling straight or making softer turns.
