i believe the konrad would bolt right up to an its box as well. just keep in mind every 12 inch setback will lower your drive depth 1 inch unless you use a specific box to raise it.

Copy thanks !!! The boat ran really well with out them got on plane nice. Not sure exactly the benefit of boxes ?

i didnt know that about the konrads good info. boxes are supposed to put the props in good clean water. on boats with no notch transoms sometimes at speed the water was coming up too far back for the props to bite, hence extension boxes. some boat mfrs say their boat dont need them, i think thats just pride. with the set back though it changes the ctr of gravity which is why the prop line drops.

Talked to my powdercoat guy tonight. did you use hi temp coat ? He said there is a black that will hold higher temp but it is not as shinny. And if prepped good he assured me it would stay on. I’m just concerned about falling off we’re they mount to heads ?

Good news on the headers. My transom does have a notch. I may really consider those boxes looked like a clean set up. All parts are ordered for engines working on getting them together. Once I get some glass work done witch will give me a lot of time to think lol I can decide about those boxes.

I agree with Justin, with all the changes you’ve made I would hold off and see how it reacts to what you’ve done so far.

Run the boat as-is for 2020, boxes may make it porpoise (if it doesn't already), under 70mph. I ran next to your boat and was impressed with how it ran. Nice and flat in bumpy water cruising at 65-70. You can always add the boxes next year. You're changing alot all at once so it may be hard to determine if the boxes "did" anything for you.
