Engines working out well. They run awesome. Only had 2 problems one was with whipple pulley bolts breaking and with a brand new starter going bad. Most all bugs are out. Post some photos of your engines. Here's a photo of the SCX lower with a 15 5/8(large) diameter Maximus.

I dont have any pics to get really excited about, he has the short blocks together and waiting on pans, whipple kits, heads to be installed ,so a little ways to go yet, I will post some when we get some better ones. So with the scx lowers you could almost get some 17 inch #6 props on there ? what props are you going to spin now with the 1.5 gears ? Also it looks like in the first pic the hub does not match up to the gearcase housing to well.

The hubs are tight so I didn't put them all the way on so I wouldn't have to tap them off. The pitch is 34. The 6 shaft lowers should be able to handle 17" props. Eddie takes his time on the short blocks, the rest comes together faster.

cool , he probably thinks im getting impatient. now back to the drives, it would be nice to find some # 6 props that I wouldnt have to cut down so far that I couldnt resell if they didnt work out.

That is correct 16inch cleaver is the largest diameter you can run on the SCX -2 with no spacer. This will give you enough gap for blade flex but just barely.

P.S. KyelimEagle can we see pictures of the transom of your boat. When do you think you will run it...if so take some video.

Kap, it will be May per my insurance lay up. I am trying to get all the things I'll need to test. I've got the 2 sets of lowers and 3 sets of spacers. I need to find some more props to test. Here's a rear shot of the boat.

Thanks for the photos.

As for propellers any HP level will work. In fact Super Cat Lite props are the best in my opinion. Your boat is light and don't worry to much about the HP rating of the propeller. You are not going to hurt the propellers unless your making OSS type turns and flying the boat which I doubt you will be doing.

The SC Lite props or lighter really give you the top end.
