LOL

Sorry but you'll be glad you spent the money.

You got the right guy doing the LED's!

If you have not seen those that dance to the music you better take a look before he is done. Those are a lot of fun.

Adam did a lot of calculations and when all said and done we will be 1-11/16 inch higher overall at the prop shaft.

The Baja transom is at a different angle than all other brands. I do not remember that angle off the top of my head. The IMCO boxes are really built for the other angle. They are a neutral box and the SCX lowers only come 2 inch shorter than stock.

So the bottom line is while I did not raise the "X" by raising the engines I will end up approximately 1-11/16" higher at the prop shaft.

The big question for the expert you are is "CG". You and I have talked about this a lot and you know that my 36 is a lot diffferent than the 33 in that I don't see a difference by just adding people to the back seat. Any predictions on what this setup will do?

Doc

Hey doc when Adams done Ill have to drive that boat what do think ?I do have the pulleys to make POWER and raising the x 1.5 inches should give you some rpm .The few people I've talked to about those drives said no loss in speed or rpm and they didnt have to change props . I think you will have a peace of mind running those drives. I wish I could do the same thing I'm due for a new challenge. I would dial that boat in with p5x they are great out of the box over the merc 5 blades and they come in every inch. I'll be happy to help I have pulleys and props and I'm joansin to go for a ride.Every lb of boost is good for a 1.5 mph in my boat GOT BOOST! arnt you running 5lb ? 7 to 8 would be fun spinnings 30 p5xs

IM heading to RUBY MI at 5am sat morn to get my heads maybe Ill see the Irishcatagory 5
