I assume he's talking about a stepped gun since it had XR's on it. (??)
I don't know of any stepped Guns that had 3's on them.
We have 3A's on our Gun but it's a straight bottom. Love the drives (baby 6's). Plus with a straight bottom the CG is better with the drives forward.
Again, if you're talking about a TS there may be issues with the CG being moved forward.

A frined of mine has an 02 with 3's on it. It is a totally different boat than with the XR's. Way more stable, but it takes a little more power to get it really fast as the X is a little lower.
If you don't end up buying it. Email or PM the info on it. I have been looking for one.
Or if it is a good enoguh deal, maybe a finders fee.

I actually talked to 2 other riggers and they said definately spacers.
His engines are actually moved forward all ready. I think that is what helps make it more stable.
Know it all.

Jeff, when i told you u need spacers ,,,we talked about your cat and a strait V hull ,,,not a notched hull !!!!!
Plus i never called you names,,,so dont start !
Also if he runs XR's no Boxes wy would the engines be moved forward ???????
Then again ,,,the reason most if not all boatbuilders made a notch is to rise the (socalled X-dim ) drivehight to gain speed.
And eliminate the BOX,,,,it is the box. For each 10 " back u whant to go min.1 " up on lighter boats even 3 " if the props get enuff water at WOT.
And i dont care what other people tell you,,,,,if i set up a boat it gains speed and runs and that is all that matters to me.
If you whant to go waterskying i am the wrong person to set up your boat.
Have a nice Holiday .
