I thought they only used the 4's when you ran boxes. I kept my X demesion exactly the same as it was with the #2s the boat handled great and ran 106mph with the tired 650s. I also had props that were a tad under pitched and at that speed I was at 6000 as the motors are hitting the limiters. I got props with 2 inches more pitch and the motors are fresh Im hoping to pick up a little speed despite the extra weight from the #3s. We will see.

If your not running boxes your x demension should be lower. I was talking to greencard about his x and he is 3/4" above the bottom with 3s. Both of our boats are 7% prop slip which is good. Mine is 1/2" above the bottom. I havent run the boat this year with the 3s yet. But last year with the 2s I had no porpose at any speed unless my drives were trimed in to tight than she would hop at higher speed. If you are running boxes I dont no what the optimal x would be but greencard said he had some friends with that combo I would ask him. What power are you running? Let me know how you make out.

I went from IIs to IIIs on my chris cat.
Speed went up a couple mph. They IIIs are a little longer than the IIs and the X dimension was set with the propshaft about 1" above the bottom, higher than my IIs were at.
