Doc, Adam is putting a set on my boat now. They aren't as high dollar as yours, but I think they will get the job done. He's also doing some led's. That's your fault for posting the pics of yours. I'll let the wife know were to direct her anger for the money spent towards you.
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.

Bobby,
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?

That 36 is really going to be a attention getter this summer Dock!!!! You planning on dragging it up to Lake Erie this summer? If so let me know the weekend and I'll drag mine down to Sandusky and meet up with you.

How you doing buddy? I hope all is well with you and your boat. I'll keep you posted and call you as soon as I plan to water test on Norman. I owe you a ride!
Let me know when you have time to do lunch.
Doc
