I keep getting an email that you are looking for my address. I have replied four times now. Perhaps my response is going into your spam folder. Also, my shipping address should have been included on my PayPal payment. I will send it again from my work account.

aquaman, I am ready to send payment but can't find your email. This is Chris Fellers with the 2005 SeaDoo Islandia 250 DFI and I requested an extended SS Ride Plate. I need to know how much and the paypal will come from cfellers@gmail.com. Thanks.

Mark, I also am going to have you send the plate asap to The HideAway Bar, E19986 Cr-Nd, Augusta, WI 54722 Care of Chris Fellers. That way I will have it for the weekend. Should you have any questions, I am at 608 239 4592 and cfellers@gmail.com. I only need your email to pay you. Thank You!!!!

What is the best adjustment for the plate

 

[Aquaman1]

That is a very broad question. The adjustment depends on what trim you desire for the boat.

When is the next order? I sent an email last week, wondering if you'd ship to Ontario, Canada.

For all of you who have purchased the extended ride plate I thank you. How do you like ride?

Seriously it is the most impressive improvement these boats (Challenger 1800) could possibly have. What I don't understand is how did Bombardier not figure this out during manufacturing and design. Your extended ride plate virtually eliminated porpoising all together. Well it is so greatly reduced that only very poorly positioned seating (too much weight in the back) will introduce any bounce at all with it on. I have mine set at nearly the highest setting (almost no threads exposed), so it doesn't impact top speed.

This plate has been great since I installed it back in May. I have it played with the adjustments a few times during the summer but have now have adjusted "up" as much as it can go, as this seems to get rid of the pull to the left and right. At top speed, my 02 challenger will not pull one way or the other, but when I pull the throttle back, the boat really wants to pull to the left. It may have done that prior to switching the ride plate, I never really paid attention until after I installed this one. Also, I noticed I still get some bouncing heading into a fairly strong headwind out on the lake. Funny part is as soon as I put this plate on, I met a couple on my lake with the exact same boat and the first thing they asked is "Does your boat bounce the @#$% out of you" and I directed him to you. He just sent me a text yesterday saying that he received it and can't wait until next year. Well worth the investment and a hell of a lot cheeper than the place diverter ($750) and the trimable steering nozzle ($2500)

Thank you Aquaman:hurray:

Amen to the posts above. I think my video that I embedded a while back is the proof. In the last 30 seconds when my wife takes our boat from 0-50mph with one child in the bow, you can see it is far from bouncing.



I would be willing to edit out that clip if you need to share it with anyone as you just have to experience how well this works. One would expect it to have shaved top end off, and I have yet to see it. And in fact, it increases top end when in waves that would have normally required you to back off due to bouncing.

The benefit outweighs any losses, which are very hard to find.

Nice work!

PS: I need to edit my signature to include the AM RidePlate as a mod!!

 

[Aquaman1]

I think I am going to use that name AM Ride plate. I like it. Thanks. Also I love your video. I have sent the link to a couple of people who were on the fence about purchasing the AM ride plate.

Just tested mine last weekend. It is awesome. Definitely added a couple mph to my top speed, shortened the plane time, and the ride is so smooth now.

Hi, do you know what size Allen key fits in the heads of the two set screws? I have a metric set but none fit exactly.

Pretty sure it's a Torx bit. #30 I believe.

 

[UKGlenn]

Thanks, mine has Allen key screws? It's a 2004 240m2 efi. Does anyone else have these.

 

[Aquaman1]

Mine has the Torx bolts. Toward the stern the trim adjustment bolts are Philips.

Does a 2000 islandia take the same ride plate?
