so what was the conclusion on set up??
what are the thoughts of -2 x with ITS system set back 7 inches? What props would you guys all suggest and why?
I have had 5 3100's ranging in power btwn them all. Most all of the boats porpoise between 75 and 90mph then work through it to a smooth run. I have not tried merc ITS and -2 all in one package so don't know what to expect? I am also going to move the motors 12 inches forward (or is at least the plan) with only about 600hp to 650hp a piece.
Thoughts or experiences on this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input ROTAX.......... appreciate the help, but I had already found my xr's with ITS drives. Turns out I am not going to move the motors forward, but am looking at -1 or -2 shorty lowers and am hoping to hear more thoughts from people on my scenario!
I also don't know which prop setup to go with. I have always had success with the bravo props and never tried the 5 blade. Thought on this?
Thanks a ton....

1) Add the 5" spacer

2) Add the -2" IMCO lowers
After that, suggest you call Brett at BBLADES and enlist his expertise in which prop to use and how it should be "tuned".
Randy, chime-in and help this ladd out. You have more on the water experience in this area.
