In your guys opinion do you think placing my Bennett SLT (10" x 10" ) between the swim deck support will still be effective. I can move that one support to a different spot( so I could move the tab out further )as i did build the swim deck my self but I would rather not but I could.

What your thoughts

it will still work, just be a little less effective than further out. would work better outboard of the deck support and the outer chine

I guess I am more concerned with getting up on plane faster then stability. Would it help planing time out further to.

they will help out with planing in either location, however to aid in planing out, they also add a bit of drag.

however usually planing has to do with hull design, HP and weight distribution.

I see you are rocking a stringer.

if you have a 3.0 move the beer cooler forward will help.

Thanks for the info.

It has a 5.0 OMC but has a closed bow so I can not get much weight up there
