Each boat is a little different, on the 37 AT I had the slip was in the 20-23% and I then added a 1" spacer and took it down to 14% slip which in turn picked me a some mph and alot on cruise.
Your boat from the factory came with out spacers, so you will have to test and see what works best for you.
Hope this helps.

[QUOTE=laszlo01;2808018 Just want to get it right the first time and we are on fast track to get it done right the first time.[/QUOTE]
There is NO such thing as getting it right the first time with a boat!!!
You have to spend a ton of money before you can get it right.
LOL

I'm running the identical set up on my 33 and I find it's the best overall.

You have a sweet boat Rick. I remember when you were out with Joe on St. Clair going for a test drive. I did talk to Julie at Throttle Up, and she had suggested adding a spacer to the drives to help bring down the slip since we have such a high X-dimension. Going to write her again and get a better understanding. When I spoke to her in Miami, I think I had to many beers and didnt comprehend everything she said. Did you do a comp test and leak down before you pulled them? Give me a call this wkend. Try and help you out the best I can.

I was wondering on the nose cones, I put them on my Vyper and it really woke it up on the top end. Most likely just run the stock drives this season and see how it runs, gonna pull the motors next winter to see how they look and probably bump them up a bit to the 650 HP mark. Might consider nose cones at that point. Just wanted to see if I need the spacers or not, but looks like it is not a concern.

You might want to run em before spending all that coin to get them labbed.

Activeshack has the same boat too...he runs a set of labbed 28P Maximus and loves the way they cruise. I run 32P Bravos or 15 5/8 28P Maximus on my Formula and have a set of cut down (15 1/8) 30P Maximus as extra props that also work well. Mark (Activeshack) is anxious to try these on his AT and they might be well suited for that hull. (we'll have to get them on Mark's boat to see how they work out)....they are for sale, just not sure what hulls are best for that diameter yet.
