Imco Shorty - Scarab / Excalibur 26 ?
I have a Wellcarft Excalibur 26, its a 26 Scarab hull below the rub rail for those that do not know the boat.
It time to change the drive and considering a imco short on the bottom end. I wanted to see if any one has try one on this hull and what the results were as it a very low x dimension.
It would be going on a 1.5 Bravo upper with a 600 HP Tyler Crocket powerplant.

Nutz... my old drive is already off and peices.
My down draft is 38" if that helps at all. And it is not a stepped hull, doesnt really need it as it plains pretty quick.

A 3 blade prop on a standard length lower would do more for you on top end speed and also save the drive with added slip on re-entry.
