you may have an agressive x dimension from the factory. maybe try standard length imco or merc lowers. with the 32 bravos or a maximus or hydr p5 with the shorties.
this is where you will understand why a true performance facility charges what they charge for dialing in a boat. however being just as analitical yourself in this process will yield similiar if not the same results. keep at it.
also what is the diameter of the 32's?

I can't imagine that your drive height from that period would be too aggressive. I know mine wasn't. I did benefit quite a bit from the -2" Imcos.

call julie at throttle up and give her your numbers as for speed and rpm with the shortie and without.
also you will need a bigger wheel with the shorts and i personally like the hydro p5 for speed and decent planing.

Hey Bo,

What's the difference between the p5 and p5x?

the x's are designed to give the boat more bow lift.
in my experiences at least with fountains, the p5x's and p6's added chine walk and some instability in the high numbers during calm water runing.
