Default Twin Step X Dimension Question

If it's not too much trouble I would like to find an approximate x dimension for twin step Guns and Tigers. I am considering the Imco shorties for the Tiger.

I did measure the relative height of a regular twin step Gun against my F2 Gun and I recall that the F2 drives were mounted about two inches higher than the regular Gun. However, I do not remember how deep the drives on either boat were relative to the hull.

I'm also curious if there is a difference in the depth of the drives on a twin step Gun versus a twin step Tiger.

I asked the same question for my straight hull, everyone told me I would have a hard time getting on plane. I cant see much difference in our boats until we are up on plane, then the aeration would kick in...

Hey Tom! That would be great. Just make sure the drives are in line with the hull (neutral position). Thanks!

Ok, I finally got by the shop today and measured the depth of the drives on Kevins boat. They appear to be 3" below the bottom. He has 1" shorter Imco drives. I know he has to work on getting on plane sometimes, but as you know, his boat hauls...Hope this helps a little.

Thanks Tom! Just curious ... I know the 6s are surface drives but where does your bullet sit in relation to your hull? In line or just below the hull?

The bunks on the Myco are right in front of the drives, but what I can see, they appear to be in line....
