Ideally I'd love to get rid of the 3s and put 5s on it but can't find a buyer for the 3s, it's not so much that Im trying to gain speed just reliability. I don't want to be rebuilding drives all the time. These baby blower motors combined with the weight of the boat is enough to destroy bravos and figured since the 3s are sitting here in my way I'll put them to use next year

If you are at 18" with stock length Bravos, an x of 20.7/16" will put you at the same height. I would a least go with 23½"-24". You can always use a 3" spacer and get down to or close to current prop depth if needed, but 23½" will suface your IIIs and that is what they were meant to do. With the big cleavers, you may even be able to go higher. Next question is, do you have room under your hatch?

to be honest i wish i had a hull to throw those on that was already set-up for arnesons

What do you want for the III's? They'll sell.....you just have to lower your price waaaay below what they're worth.....seems like that's the only way to sell something these days. It sucks.

Go for the SSM#3s and a high x-dim. Much stronger than a bravo and they run surface props. An interesting thing could be to see if you could in any way swap yor IIIs for Vs. The lower drive x-dim makes for easier and better installation. If you are running biggish power, your bravos are going through hel! on that boat and are on borrowed time anyway.

How to measure an x dimension?

Just did a little drawing viewed from the side of a boat, it very rough, but gives a pretty good idea about how to measure. The red thing is a straight edge and the blue line, will it goes without saying. The circeled spots is where to measure.
Don't ever hire me as a graphic designer:D |
looks like were going to see how this season goes, try to sell the bravo parts at the end of the year, rig it for the 3's and use the bravo money to replace the 174 blowers with 250's

x-dim on twins. is it to lowest point of keel? or bottom directly below drive. note, the swivel up-down where trim indicators go is center of crank-upper driveshaft for measuring purposes.
