Mine are pretty rare. They came off of one Gentry's cats from the 1980's. I have never seen another set like these. I had new gears made for both sides to get a gear ratio of 1.56 rather than the 1.25 they had. Also had to make new custom prop shafts with a 26 spline- they came with a 23 spline.

Hi gents. I am pulling the motors next week to freshen everything up. Time to rebuild both short blocks and heads. I think there may a few wet spots in the transom if so I will rebuild that as well if there is in fact water in there. If I do redo the transom I will try and improve on the position of the drives. My question is for the flat deck gurus out there What x dimension works best on these hulls. In other words how far below the hull should one set the prop shaft to make this hull work best. I am not looking for a race set up but something that will give good speed but still able to plane without revving the motors to their death. This hull does not have a notch.
Thanks RG.
