I'd love to try a set of shorties but a pretty big investment without knowing how the boat would run with them. I think I'm going to pull the 2" drive spacers and try a set of 5 blades to start. What type of Hull adjustments can be made to adjust bow/stern lift?

Thanks that gives me somewhere to start from

Thanks for the info.. You're running stock drives not -2 shorties right?

Were you able to get a measurement of your drive depth? Please let me know. Thanks

Bblades is telling me that they always recommend spinning in on BT's for more bow lift. Saying that too much stern lift is an issue with these boats.

Anyone?

Are you guys spending props in or out?

I completely understand. My PC's actually caused my engine failure. $20 flame arrestor broke apart and was sucked thru the motor - destroyed everything. Needless to say they're no longer there

Thanks that'll at least give me somewhere to start from. Just curious - why did you remove your PC's?

How deep would you guess?

I'm guessing there's nothing special about how BT set this boat up though right?

So does drive height of approximately 4" below running surface seem about right for factory?

I'd love to try a set of P5X. Had them on my Sonic and loved them - should've kept them when I sold the boat

The 32's seem to be the right size as I spun them to 5100 rpm but it seemed to be dragging. I could actually feel (and see) the speed increase if I turned the boat slightly. The water was dead flat though.

Yes both are close to 1/2" down and at the same level. Must just be the pictures angle. .
