Is yours a 38 or 39. A 38 will be set up deeper than a 39.

unfortunately you can’t tell much from those pictures. Even with a great pic it’s almost impossible to tell. Everything needs to be leveled, a pic from a random angle just doesn’t work.

38....but this is an X race boat and Id heard they were set up a little higher than norm...

PBC had the purple 39 center steer for sale 7 or 8 years ago, it had 525’s, I was looking it over pretty good, I do recall the drives being very high, probably only an inch or so below the bottom, I would imagine yours would be in the same neighborhood

the scx is bigger so it sits back a little further

Is yours running -2 sportmasters? I'll be picking up my boat Thursday, so I'll find out soon, what mine is.

I quickly eyeballed mine when I looked at it, and the drives appeared very close to being even with the hull. However without a straight edge, it's really hard to get an accurate guess.

I would measure mine for you but the drives are not on the boat. I would definitely run big props on your boat if possible. The difference between them and bravo props is night and day, especially on Lake Michigan. Mine also sucks to get up on plane even with big props, I have 17/35 herrings
