    Are my talons to low?

    Im in the process of putting 15 foot talons on my rt198p. I was wondering if my talons are to low in this picture? Should I have them above the water line?174662603_3973411686028262_4222813977262795999_n.jpg175200046_1173055729797707_3201669926957833098_n.jpg174155330_2804295963218796_2177361432632031834_n.jpg

    Bottom of the Talons needs to be at least 4" above the bottom of the hull.

    Like the guys said, they're way too low.

    Put a 4 foot level or long straight edge on the bottom of the hull, your talons should be at least 4 inches above that, if not more, I'd suggest more in the range of 6 inches. You appear to have the space and you'll probably want the added clearance.
