PCAT, you are dancin with the devil. Leave it alone. If you go with shorties, the IMCO bullet doesnt give the bow lift like the stock lower. So, for all the money and time you will gain nothing unless you are re-rigging to use stock lowers. On my boat, JT's boat & Crayola Crazy's boat the stock lowers were faster than IMCO's. If you want the speed, go get more horsepower. If you insist with tinkering on the drives, get the props labbed by BBlades. The only other thing that picks up speed was plugging the low water pick up holes in the bullet and re-epoxy the bullet nose. It picks up about 1.5-2 MPH at WOT.
The only person running high drive height with no boxes is Crayola. And his Baja aint a Baja. He has a bigger pad and bigger strakes.

i think the -1/-2 may work on the older boats like mine (99) but im not sure they work so well on the newer ones. Basically im just looking for some real world experience. I'd also like to know what people experienced when changing from 1.5 to 1.36 gears. It's time for a drive upgrade for me and im just trying to get my ducks in a row on what my best possible setup would be with out doing it 5 times and learning the hard expensive way.
Maybe going to a 1:65 ratio you would see some mid range improvement because you would need a larger prop to keep from over revving. Depended upon your engine setup.
Generally 3-4 inches below the hull i think would be a noticable difference in top end.

As for the IN comment, I am not turning the HP you guys are, but my 770 (both sides) felt squirrely spinning in, it felt good until I was running in some trailing wakes. I prefer the stability of spinning OUT.
also the first thing I noticed when I turned IN was the lack of reverse thrust...i.e. what people describe as poor dock manners. trimming (+) helped a little to direct thrust beneath hull,but not a good as OUT!
also.. wish I would have known you were in the qtr, I am only work about 20 min from downtown, could have joined you for lunch!! I think Ricks has a good buffet (.)(.)

Just made a run yesterday for a best yet of 66.3 with the labbed 24p b1. 1/2 fuel and just me. 79 degrees and 40% humidity.
