Default 1998 32 -2 lowers

anybody have any experience running -2 imco lowers on a 1998 or later 32? They introduced the large step in the late model 98's. I imagine i would have to at least run a 5 blade if not buy spacers for when it blows out every time. Is there that much more to be had on this year hull to make it worth the grief? any input would be appreciated

I was wondering the same thing. The drives are very deep on these year 32's.

Hey Blue Magic all the research I have done shows zero increase in performance with the shorties due to lack of the boat leaving the garage!!!!!!!!!

Bravos will break when you use them, they will never break on a trailer, lets go get on the water trailer queen isn't that why you have a boat?
