# 3's on a gun
 
Can anyone advise me , Q; im bidding on a Cig TG Repo with no drives...only Xr Gimbles...How complicated would it be to use an old set of large shaft 3's ???? Appreciate any Expert advice !!!

The problem u would have is that the #3'S would be to deep in the water and the engines need to be moved forward for the tranny's.
Other then that its posible.
You would lose power at the prop ,due to the tranny's about 30 HP each side,,,,i would say throw some XR's on it and be done with it.
Unless u put more then 600 HP in a heavy boat like that.
Also depends on is it a stepped,notched or strait bottom?!

Good luck.:party-smiley-004:

Save tens of thousands and put the bravos on it...will have better resale value also.
