Sorry, i guess the board isnt resizing pictures anymore.
I started last week with an untouched transom and bilge. We set the X dimension first and went from there. We changed the boat from a TRS set up to this new bravo set up. We are Using Stellings 18's standoff boxes and IMCO extreme drives. The engines are 572ci. They will be on the dyno this week or next depending on paint. They will be painted to match the intake, while we have polished valve covers. Getting rid of the transmissions with the TRS gave us so much more room. I cant wait to get it finished and see how it runs with all the new hardware.

I have no idea what numbers to expect. Im hoping for a suprise. The motors will be in the 650hp range. We lost a lot of weight and drivetrain loss. It ran about 60-65 with TRS and Merc 425's. We have dropped at least 500 pounds and gained 500 Hp, the only numbers to smile at so far.

Looks good!!!
I have been considering doing this to my 38KV. X-boxes with some 500's though. Looks like you could have almost staggered those motors with all the room in there
Good luck the finished project and keep us informed!

I didnt want to get to crazy with changing the original set up for the boat with running a staggered or tripple setup. This last weekend we go the other drive built and on the boat along with a full Marine Machine steering system. We are waiting to get driveshafts for the boxes then the motors will go in.
