BPM's vs #6's in 3-5 ft ocean conditions
 
Does one of the 2 drives work better in 3 -5 ft seas if so please cite pros and cons handling tracking etc.Application would be on 44' mti, thanks

might want to try this in the MTI forum or maybe general discussion so more people will see it.

I am told the shafts put the props further back, and therefore they are the last thing to leave the water and the first back in so it should be better. I really like my BPM shafts except docking single engine.

STAY WITH THE 6'S , much more versatile and way better on resale.in 3-5's wont be much difference in performance
