Imco just said let it spray out inside the helmet and cap the transom plate

In a video that was taken with a go pro mounted in the notch you can clearly see the tip of the lower above the water. My slip isn’t the greatest however, 15-18 percent at cruise. From my experience and shops I’ve talked to the big imcos run the beat when up high out of the water and have a 16”+ cleaver to get around the big bullet and reach the water. There’s also the handling advantage with the cleavers. My boat was set up high to begin with with long sportmasters. 100+ 4 people coolers, full of fuel. 105 light, best so far of 108





Holy smokes Torey 108 ! That's awesome, i didn't know you made such a big step up in boats and equipment.

Yes whippled 525s. Valve train obviously redone but other than that they’re still 525 guts. Boos did the tuning, run a 4.5” pulley, never on the dyno but should be around 825hp. Imo the whippled 525 is a really good package. A guy can’t help but think what it’d do with NXTs or #6s. The imcos are power/speed suckers but like others say you’ll be out boating not on the trailer!

38 Donzi with NXTs and stage 2 700s would be comparable HP to your charged 525s and the ones I know of run 105 to 107. So your right in the ball park with them.

Endeavour, I measured my friends drive height. 2007 39 TG 700s with NXTs 17x35s and his drives are 1 inch above bottom straight ahead of drive. Hopefully this can help you?
