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...

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.
