Ran boat yesterday for the first time since installing the 1" drive spacer (which returned propshaft centerline to hull dimension back to about 7 1/2 or 8"). Boat once again will air out bow and ride normal. Seems to actually cruise better at 4000 rpm's then it did before the stellings box.porpoising and cavitation seems to be gone. Will get some top end gps numbers and see how it handles in rough water soon and post,Smitty
