May try some 3 blades or the hydros if I can find a pair to borrw, but spinning them in is just going to give me stern lift, so i dont think that is an option...

I put a pair of 1 inch shorter drives on a 2001 35 ft cig and they work great on the top end but are crap out of the hole. I am going to put spacers in them for the customer to get back to stock height. At least if you dont like them you can put spacers on them and the lower unit back to stock. The lowers will give more mph because they are more hydrodynamic. Good luck with yuor project I hope this helped a little.
