Only thing I can add is that I went with white sides but red in the floor. Like you said white sucks but at least red you have a chance with Red and it would match the boat.

I also thought about doing the exhaust tails in white

No your transmissions will work just fine. There is nothing in the number 6 box it just moves the drive back the gimbal has a drive line flange on it. the Number 6 drive can be run a lot higher then the number 5 because of the cav plate. It helps get on plane easer Regards Dan

Correct me if i`m wrong:


1. Stronger drive
2. easier to find parts
3. cleans up transom
4. more negative trim and cavitation plate, much easier to get on plane.(this should be number 1)
5. 6s are bad ass and all the cool kids have them!!

Can’t believe no one has yet to suggest filling in transom completely and tossing on a platform/bracket and hanging 4, 450’s off the back. Isn’t that what all the cool kids have today?!

3 450s would do the trick!

Have you thought of removing old air vents for something more flush in design?
