Ralph Suspect that might be a great enhancement to your ride We may have some of the Dual Cav pieces you may need in the "JBP vault"  Since I dont belive your boat is inletted for those I'm guessin you've given thought to hinge mounting them ?? Weve actually done/seen quite a few of these over the year I'll check today ,belive I have some industrial strength stainless piano hinge. RE the Calgo we now have the "hook up" on that set up and related parts as well as making some of the pieces and were working with Lance and Omar (soon ) to get thiers dialed in .

 Ralph, How much do plates really help on jets and do they work being so short off the transom without being recesseb in the bottom? I like what all of you guys are doing in the circle class, it looks like fun.

 Do you also hook the ride plate to the cav or do you let the plate take the set and the cav to bury the front in a turn.

Do you have a hand control or foot control to move the plates up and down?   

Very very nice!!!
