I was looking at them for use on the back of my 35 Bertram for lift and stability but the price was crazy What did you pay for yours and did you get them direct ???

Thanks,
Troy

yes we coughed up for them but had done our research and thought it was worth it.
and it was in the end

I got a set of the lifting rails for my Albemarle years back. They snapped the boat up on plane quick but I gave up about a knot from the extra drag... They actually rode underwater where they were mounted much of the time and the hydraulic pressure finally busted one... The company owner said he'd make it good but I would have to pay shipping that was I'm pretty sure the same price as the rails themselves???
I enjoyed them as they dampened th roll by a lot... And will probably replace the busted one with new...

well knock on wood they have stayed on and ride above the water on plane
we have done a few trips with them already
trinidad- tobago two days fishing one day cruising and then back to trinidad (total 1 week on the hook)
back to trinidad re fuel clean up change oils and up to bequia to look for a lost wheel (which we found luckily like looking for a needle in a hay stack) ad down to grenada where the boat is now fishing their bill fish tourney.
after that we got lots in store for her tournament wise in the southern caribbean
knock on wood they stay on
oh yea went from 21.2-21.4 at 1950 to 23.1-23.3 at the same rpm and gained a little at the top end as well
