I just took another look at your post. What is your propshaft centerline now? Where do you want to be after the Box? The Stellings box claims +-2", does that take in account the 3/4" drop or so from the 12" setback?

No, it is on the x-dimension so it would be a vertical movement with no addition of subtraction for setback.

Currently prop is 6.5". Not sure where I want to end up, will start with this. If it needs to go higher, a 2" IMCO shorty will be next. I have heard from other 25OL owners and have great sucess with with anything between 4 3/4 and 2 3/4. The owner I bought the box from had it on a 25 OL with the shorty for a "X" dim of 2 3/4". No issues at all with getting on plane with a labbed 24P B1.

bring me your boat before you waste your money Ill show whats wrong for nothing I can in most cases get you 150-200 rpms out of 496ho just a few changes CRAYOLA CRAZY did 71mph when I took delivery of it The last time out she did 99.8
It wasnt any one thing I did it was many I do love the challenge RPM in a Baja dont allways = speed there are reasons why Bajas are slow I know many baja guys that added lots of HP with small gains ,added shortys to spin bigger props all they did was trade rpms to spin bigger wheels been there done You start with the slip! I remember I fixed one spot on the bottom and I picked up 4% efficiecy My slip factor is 11.5% and 9% with 6 blade 29 herrings unheard of on a Baja, find the deficiency so your boat will appreciate the thousands of dollars you willing to spend and do one thing at a time so you know what works and what dont .There was many of thing I had to undo

[QUOTE=Baja_man;2994673]Hard to really see it on the trailer but from what I see with a 4 foot straight edge is no hook....flat as can be.[/Q

Y ou need a floor jack and two jack stands put the floor jack under the toung chalk your wheels ,lower the toung to the ground the back of boat will be up in the air put the jackstand with blocks as needed under the outside corners under the flat spots at the transom then raise the toung slow this should raise the back of the boat off the trailer safely enough to look at the haul .Put a light in the front of the boat and look down the glare take some pictures of the bottom of that glare the shadows are the problem I bet youll be suprised Hope this helps the strait edge helps to

Speed is in the setup. No disputing that.
I run 9.8% slip with 4 blade Bravo's & I think I can get that down a bit, so it is not impossible to get efficiency in a Baja.

I may just take you up on that in the spring. I am already comitted to the ext box and steering at this point.

those are nice no.s I like a little more slip then 10% a little slip in my mind saves the drive

I would like to bring you my 33 before i start throwing money at it!!! I Dont have a lot to throw in this economy!:eek:
