Did we find anyone that put on -2s before boxes?? Just curious and figured I would bump this thing! Summer here yet?? I have a lot of lil projects so the sooner it comes means I already did them !! lol

I'm watching for a set to try but haven't found any yet. Need 1.5. The guys at XT told me I was basically dragging two anchors behind me.

meaning what ?

Meaning my boat is going slower than it would be if I had a lot less drive in the water. I told him i was planning to go down a prop size and he said if I raised the X I should have no problem obtaining more speed/rpm out of the props I have now (28p).

No summer yet, did ride the Harley for the last time yesterday, for speed gains -2 lowers is the best we can do without messing with the transom, boxes are cool but way to expensive for the cool factor, JMO, Purdue Im running the same props as you, cant really spin em over 5100

Do you have -2 lowers? What power out of your 540's? Are your 28's labbed or stock? I agree, I don't think the boxes are worth the money either....

Cant anybody chime in with higher drive height without boxes? Docking performance is a little to get use to with boxes. With high drive height and no boxes i would think it would be non-existent.

What would be non existent? Ability to dock?

stock bravo 1's & props, motors dyno'd 630 each

No, not the ability all together, just reverse thrust. The higher the prop the water goes into the transom and makes the thust a little useless. Even with boxes you have to get use to it. The side in reverse requires a little more throttle to get good results. If you put it 12 inches closer to the transom (no box) I imagine it would be a field day.

Again, somebody with high drives and no boxes needs to chime in to make me a believer.
