I guess some things speak for themself. :(

Hope this works out for you Corey.

Re: Stellings boxes
 

I think you hit the nail on the head with the second statement. Im just glad I got the boat back before the whole National fallout came to a head.
I guess the best i'll be able to get out of the boxes is 2 3/4"s. Anything should be better than it is right now. I am amazed I can even run 70 with the props that deep.

I'm going to take it in in the next week or so and have them raised so keep your fingers crossed.
:rolleyes:

Thanks

Corey,

Just wondering if you will need to change the engine height, too. The shafts on the Stellings have universals at each end to allow a little angle and a slip collar to allow for length, but if you raise the box that much, will you need to raise the engines also?

I would call Darryl Johnson at Formula TAG and find out if there is any difference in engine mounting for boxed/non-boxed 382's.

Let me know if you need other measurements, but remember I have Merc mounts but not Merc motors in mine.

I hope not, but I guess since the engines have to come out anyway it wouldn't be a catastrophic event to do. I'll call Darryl and get some insight. I know that on a new boat equipped with boxes, I think the engines are installed 1 inch taller than a non-box equipped boat :rolleyes:

Oh Well its only money......right??? :eek: :eek: :(
