prop shaft height on a straight V hull
I have a 31 sutphen im working with has prop shaft 6 3/4 below bottom of the boat with standard bravos now what are others running on there straight v hulls. Im going with 12'' extension boxes and -2 lowers now is my opportunity to move the x up since everything is coming off the transom anyway.
Looking for tried and true instead of theory here.

Twin engine sutphens run pretty well with them a little deeper than most other straight vee hulls. I've noticed they run real high out of the water, the lifting strakes pop them way up. If I get a chance a customer has the old f2 race boat, with bravos on boxes I can measure the propshaft height next time I see it.

finishline: is she BBC or SBC and IMO what your doing is changing the X __ what year is she and tell us about your power, gear and wheels. __ Did you ask Ritchie by chance? He prob. has the best tried and true answer for you.

1991 31'. twin bbc 36" center on the drive centers 500hp each side. Bravo one drives 6 3/4 deep 27-28p b1 props. This is my current set up as it sits right now. I will be going to a standard 12" box and -2 imco sc drives.
