You should consider pulling them at Dans. The ATV ride is worth the labor. I couldn't wait to start wrenching on stuff, and we were a little tongue heavy, so Mrs. Icdedppl had to sit on the front so Dan could Steer. I don't think the ATV was rated for that much weight, so we are looking into a dually atv. [ATTACH=CONFIG]512227[/ATTACH]

That might be one of the redneckenist pictures I've ever seen on this sight. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

I'm afraid if my boat went over there, it might come back with blowers on it...

Bring it by, we got room. If you bring enough Grey Goose, I can guarantee your propshafts will be 4 inches above the bottom, engines will be setup for 14lbs of boost, meth injection setups installed improperly, and the cabin stripped bare except for a air mattress and a condom dispenser.

I think we need to bolt on some whipples on that AT and some imco SCX drives. We need to discuss that over a game of chess.

On a maximum effort setup looking to go over 100mph the hull is running out of wetted surface and running the drives high helps to reduce drag. From my experience at 90mph 1 inch below the bottom does not hurt you. In rough water at cruise deep drives stay hooked up way better.

Another factor is how much you plan on spending on props. 4 blades props run deeper than 5 or 6 blade higher rake props.

Go Arnesons and adjust your drive height on the fly.

now ur talkin; arnies are the shiznit!!
