Shortening skeg 1"
Should I?
The SCX-4 skeg extends 1" deeper into the water than my old -1 Bravo lowers. Others have put -2 Bravo lowers on the same boat with no problems. I read an article where Warby took 1" off the rudder and gained speed and handling.....of course, that's at 400 mph!:lolhit: |
Eddie took 2 inches off my -4s and said he couldl have maybe taken off more , the -4s are extremely long .
|
Where's your propshaft relative to the bottom of the hull?Handles/steers good?
|
We have 2 inch spacers in there now which I believe it brings it back to propshaft about an inch above the bottom he said it handles great but waiting for better weather to try 2 more sets of props, trying to get the ass end of the boat up he says the 18 degree props are too much . we might go back to the one inch spacer to see if the prop blowout comes back , Eddie also did ALLOT of shaping to the lowers .

Let me know when you're done with the 37. What speed did you get with the 38? I got 104 out of one.
