Imco Shorties ?
I'm Looking For More Speed. I Have A 29 Enticer With Twin 7.4 310 Mpi's Bravo 1 Drives. People Told Me To E-mail Rick From Powerquest So I Did And He Said That Someone Had Installed Imco 2" Shorties On Their Boat Same Boat As Mine And Gained 7 Mph The Engines Were 7.4 Lit 310 Mpi's (2) And Bravo 1's. Anyone Hear Of Gaining That Kind Of Speed With Imco Lowers? What Exactly Are Imco Shorties? Rick Did Not Have This Persons Name Or Any Way To Contact This Person To Get All The Details.thanks

Imco shorties raise the propellers 2" closer to the surface. The theory is......
less drag from the cases in the water will allow you to go faster. But, if the boat doesn't like this due to various reasons like needing bow lift, it could actually slow you down.

Re: Imco Shorties ?
Thank you for all your replies. From my understanding the Enticer has too much bow lift (because of the hull design) causing chine walk severely @higher speeds depending on the weather/water conditions i know for a fact just from experimenting that this boat will run great @ full throttle with slight to no chine walk. This is mostly when i have about a 1 foot or so chop more than that the boat will start to chine walk(also to factor in cross wakes from other boats and wind ). If this is true (too much bow lift) would the shorties make a difference for the better or head me more chine walk? I just bought some 4 blade Bravo's 24 p will see if this helps the chine walk. Currently running Mirage Plus 25p's 3 blade. Thanks again to all.

As far as the overall lift and chining, shorties will probably help. But the performace aside of handling will also be affected. Hopefully for the better.
