What's the budget for #5's boxes, transmissions etc.. ?

I'm going to be around $20,000

And crickets.....lol. 5s will be great and reliable. My white top gun had 3As a high x dimension so they ran like 5s had almost 900hp. Never gave me a problem, changed the oil every 25 hrs and didn't leave the props on for long periods of time.

On the Lock and Load staggered boat the boxes were 12" stellings, with #5s that we replaced with 12" Stellings and 6as

^^^^ looks sweet........... can adding boxes and not having big power make it hop, handle worse, run slower ??
