otter boat planer

Where is the best place to get the otter boat planers? Looking for the best price.

Also tried to log on to Fatnancy's website and it times out. Are they still in business?

Go right to the big jon website and look for the blemished ones. They sell them cheaper and who cares what they look like as long as the work. They will.

YEs Fatnancy's is still in business, just redoing their site I believe. As stated, get the blems right from Big Jon, just got mine this week, along with the additional keels for running copper of them, can't wait to get them on the water. Good Luck.

What's different about the keel when you run copper?

[Rich D]

MG,

I will take a few pics when I get them setup, it looks like they added a second keel to the boat for more pulling. I will put them together this week.

Yeah I saw the factory seconds but figured with shipping they'd be the same price as a new one. Some sites have free shipping so.....I figured I'd look around a bit and see what the best deal out there is.

Spike, call them and ask what the shipping would be, I think it was 17dollars for me in CNY. Does not hurt to ask. goo dLuck.

I need to hear more on those extra keels. Not that I NEED them, but if it helps a little then Id be interested.

[Rich D]

Ok an update on the keels for the otters. I called Big Jon and found out that the new keel gets added to the inside of the big one. You have to drill new holes , which is no big deal, so there will be 2 keels. I plan on doing the drilling this week, then I will post pics. I will take some pics of the new keels and post them tonight if I get a chance.

Ok here are the pics I took tonight, I just placed the second keel where is it going to go, not mounted yet.

This what the second keel looks like in comparison to the original.
