I actually talked to 2 other riggers and they said definately spacers.

His engines are actually moved forward all ready. I think that is what helps make it more stable.

Know it all.

Jeff, when i told you u need spacers ,,,we talked about your cat and a strait V hull ,,,not a notched hull !!!!!

Plus i never called you names,,,so dont start !

Also if he runs XR's no Boxes wy would the engines be moved forward ???????

Then again ,,,the reason most if not all boatbuilders made a notch is to rise the (socalled X-dim ) drivehight to gain speed.
And eliminate the BOX,,,,it is the box. For each 10 " back u whant to go min.1 " up on lighter boats even 3 " if the props get enuff water at WOT.

And i dont care what other people tell you,,,,,if i set up a boat it gains speed and runs and that is all that matters to me.

If you whant to go waterskying i am the wrong person to set up your boat.

Have a nice Holiday .:drink:

Any advise..looking at a new prodject..found a repo with no drives...just the XR gimles...Found well priced 3's...any ADVSE on using the 3's...can it be done or should i look at 2 new XR's:cool:

We rerigged a ex-bravo 1994 TG with 3A's. The boat worked well. I still have a nice template that I made out of luan and coated with resin. You will have to move the engines forward. There is still room though, we had blowers and the pulleys were still some distance from the 'firewall'.
