Thanks for the input, guys.
Bow steer sounds pretty spooky. We don't need any of that, ever! Swapping ends may be fun on our little SeaDoo Speedster, but not on this one!
So what were you looking for when you went with K Planes, Mopower?
Mine is an '04 with 6.2 Mercs, Latham steering and yes, it has the double piston Bennets, Aquaforce. All in all, I couldn't ask for better handling. It tracks and turns like it is on rails.
The only problem is, and I know this sounds crazy to you guys, I like to slow down when the lower Chesapeake Bay gets rough. Don't need to bust up the boat or the passengers so as soon as I back down to a reasonable speed, this rascal wants to drop off plane. It just seemed to me that a little more stern lift would help and I was looking for an easy fix. No such luck!
Oh well! Thanks for sharing your experience.
