Final product. Randy it all summer long without a single issue. I tore it down over the winter for inspection and everything looked great. Also added a nose cone to maybe see if a little more speed.

The finished product is a masterpiece! Not only does it look great, it sounds to be reliable. Did you have a chance to compare the speed with and without the nose cone? Could you post a few more close up photos?

What rpm are you turning and speed? What prop size?

I am interested if you decide to build more. Please keep me posted and safe boating!

problem is almost 20k for a pair to put on what most of these boats are of 20-30k value at their age.

would it be possible to shorten a trs lower to benefit the x dimension? I get that you wouldn't gain any durability but at least performance would be improved.

Im sure that is possible just not 100% sure the -4.750 depth is possible. But it can definitely be shortened

any amount would be an improvement even just a couple inches. Would you be willing to take on a project like that or do you know anyone who could? PM if you would like.
