GO WITH THE KONRADS with that TQ and HP other wise you will need 3 bravos one spear for when you blow one it happens.

Yes, the Konrad solution does offer a higher power and torque capacity, but I would have to use the ACE system to work in my short bilge, which introduces the unknown performance of extension boxes on this hull. I've tossed out the idea of Merc's ITS as well for the same reason. Tired of being the guinea pig. Standard HP Transom Assemblies and XR uppers are on the way. After we mock-up the engine location we'll know what we need for lowers.

I thought stern lift was determined by the props. Perhaps you may want to try some different props before tearing up the whole boat.

Have you considered putting fins on the skegs? George Desmond did just that on the worlds fastest Donzi 18 which topped put Just over 120. The boat ran very flat and just could not get loose, he added a fin to the ADS6 with a slight downward angle it was night and day! Rik knows very well of the mod! The boat was featured on Riks site for several years!
