On my buddies boat we have to put a new transom in it anyway because his is rotten, so getting the x raised will be cheaper than fixing it and buying a shorty drive. I don't think raising the motor 2-3" will affect the COG on a boat that will max out 65 (hopefully). I have heard the center of the prop shaft needs to be anywhere from 1.5"-5" below the bottom of the boat but I would like to see what people with this boat has their drive heights.

How much different is a 97 25zx hull v/s a 87 25 zx hull? A buddy has to put a new transom in his 87 25 zx and we are trying to figure out what would be the best distance to raise the bravo drive.

There is no such thing as a 1987 25zx. There was a 1987 Z25, but that boat is quite a bit different than the ZX hulls.

I probably is a 25z. His just has a updated 25zx interior in it.
