Title: Bolt on rideplate/shoe on Delta bottom eliminator bubble deck.
Post by: evilb on April 27, 2016, 08:37:28 PM

I know this topic is kind of being discussed in another thread but I'm looking for some info specific to delta hulls. My boat has a one piece rideplate/shoe that's bolted to the intake. Obviously it lowers the biting edge of the intake. Can anyone offer some input as to how appropriate this might be for this type of hull? I have a loader that I haven't trimmed due to various opinions about Delta's needing to scoop up more water. The boat does 65 at 4900 with a fresh early dominator pump with an A impeller. Should I consider back cutting the plate to reduce drag?
