So close in fact that the drain plug was moved to accomodate the drive. Keep in mind it did not have a standoff box like you guys are talking about. The bravo conversion kit (pic attached) is a cool idea but keep in mind that it will stick out extremely far off of the transom.

Omerta One, your 20 is killer! just bump up the power a little bit and run the B3. It is a very nice ride.
I was under the impression that the Bravo III's were to low, thus the Blackhawk???

I have the same issue with my bass boat...when the engine is too low the bow starts walkin' at 70. I think the bass boat may actually be 1-3 feet longer than the Cig.

Was thinking 500+ on the HP...

I guess the question is.... How fast do you want to go? If you want to run 80. You can set it up with a B1 Shortie and bump your HP and you will run fine. If the drive is too low you can put an IMCO 2" rise standoff box on to get it up. Not sure what your current setup is so just guessing but there are a lot of options.

thats what I was thinking too if we cant find one readily, I think Phils brother has an imco box on the red 20 but with a blackhawk. 2 inches and the shorty would help, but still wouldnt be counter rotating.
