Difference Between Lifting Strake part numbers

[Iowa_Scott]

What's the difference between Lifting Strakes part#  900289 and lift strakes part#  903056.  Both are for 2 toons. I assume one is for the outside and one is for the inside of the toon but, no pictures or description to verify this.

The difference could be a sealed and non sealed strake.....not sure.  Ours has 2 different styles (but it's a tritoon) there are lifting strakes down both sides of the center tube and more of a foil on the inside of both outer tubes.  With a 2 tube boat you'll probably have them down both sides of each tube like this one.

Either way lifting strakes are key to turning a displacement hull (2 tube standard boat) that plows through the water into more of a planing hull that skips across the water (like in the pic above).


This one is a bit different than ours as we don't have any strakes on the outside of the outer toons but you can get the idea.

Looks like a really bad day in the lower pic. What happened??

I'm no boat builder but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...and I think the toons on that boat in the lower pic are installed incorrectly.  I'm fairly certain the toons go on the bottom of the boat.

Flipped over for viewing the quality construction......please flip back over before use.  It runs and rides better that way :wacko:

Yeh, but now is the time to apply sharkhide if you're going to do that.
