When you have time, you will have to update us with some new photos............new power etc.

Is the 1.50 ratio the same as is was?
If not what ratio did it have before?


Thanks

Great work,..............

What was centerline of the drives on the stagger?

Also where did your ( X ) demension end up with the extension boxes? I'm guessing above the bottom of the boat, but was wondering how much with that long of a hull.

Thanks
Jon

I've noticed that the last portion of the wind fairing (at the top)on the 47 is flaired foward. Would anybody know how well this design has on de-flecting wind away from the cockpit? ....In principal it looks like it should work well.........I've seen many types of designs in regards to wind de-flection .i.e, 37 Aronow, although it has no windshield, it has a built in wind scrubber on the deck............at speed, curious how well the design on the 47windscreen works.

Something like this?........Wondering how the "flair" at the top of the wind screen can effiently keep the wind off you.

Friend of mine has it on his boat.
Actually his even leans forward a bit.

Basically it kicks the wind back forward a bit so it
flows up and over your head.

You still get plenty of wind in your face, but you can
hear your engines much better and hear what they are
doing in the event you have marine gremlins ruining your day.

hope that helps


Jon

Thanks for the info.

Very respectable speeds too, with the 1.62 ratio.

Personally I would like this ratio better than the 1.5 it's being changed to ...............Reason: Torque multiplier for mid range acceleration where you spend most of your time boating anyways.

Boat will always be a show stopper thought !
