I tried 2inch shorter on a 32 a/t would not plain. I tried 1 inch spacers still sliped real bad. so i tried 2 inch ( back to stock) they worked. if you have problems plaining you can try my spacers. Im in powhatan VA. not fare from you. I was runing 800hp with 1:34 and 34 labs .(my wife is telling me my spelling sucks)

I have a 24 Outlaw and was wondering the same thing. I have 595hp. Do you have hydrualic steering on the boat? That helped my chine walking and overall driveability a ton. I also sell hydraulic steering systems and would be happy to give you some pricing if you are interested.

Very curious to see what a shortie will do on a 24. Anyone know?

I really would like to get a 1/2 spacer and see if that works i did get on plane with the bravo's but it was not easy so the 1/2 might be just right. i measured from the bottom
of the boat to the prop shaft and i am 4 1/4 so i thought that would work but i guess
not what is the price for the 1 inch spacers??

And yes i do have hydr. steering and 280 k-planes.

I can't understand it Dock but it's true and yes i did talk to imco they said my x may be
little higher than i thought. so i will keep at it. I don't think the power has any effect
on getting on plane but i could be wrong.

Drill It

When I first went to the Imco 3 inch shorter lower, I was running a 30 pitch Bravo 4-blade labbed prop. I too had a hard time getting on plane. Even once I was up and running the prop was slipping a lot. I dropped the drive a 1/2" but that didn't help either. I then tried a Herring 5-blade and a 6-blade (which is what I am running) and I solved any slip problem. Getting on plane was no problem and the boat really was hooked up. At the time Mercury didn't have their 5-blade out. You may want to give that a try as it is a lot less expensive. The 6-blade Herring is 28 pitch.

Good luck.

I tried a 2" shortie on my 01 25 Outlaw and lost 3-4 mph. Actually got to plane much quicker but did not handle as well. It actually leaned to the outside of a turn (pretty agressive turn) and scared the chit out of me and my passenger. Took it off and went back to stock.

Drill It may have the right idea. Before I added a spacer I would call Julie at Throttle Up and have her to loan you some 5 blades to try.

I have seen the 5 blades work wonders on high "X" boats.

baja36ft

Yes, thats what i am going to do call julie!!!!!!! and try the 5 blade.
THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

i too think it has to be prop set-up of some kind. 5's or better 4's something has to be able to dial it in, and if not at 2" shorter than foe sure at 1.5" shorter
