29scarab, find out what the X is on that boat you're looking at. Bet some -2 lowers and 5/6 Blades would give some gains, since prop technology has evolved since that boat was produced. At 100+ you can also benefit from better hydrodynamics on the lowers.

Search this forum, think it has been tried and proven successful.

I just happen to have some -2 Imco lowers set up for big power for ya !

Im not sure if our boat had -1 or -2 XR shorties. Getting water pressure right can be a problem when you start raising the drives and getting them in aireated water. On our 600 boat they ran both drives into one big strainer and also used a through hull water pickup.

does anyone know this boat, it's an 06 but has an 07 stagger with 07 cockpit, must of been one of the first staggers. Looks like alot of salt water use.

I called and spoke with the broker...no salt just left in water for extended periods of time. Paint is fixed now. They are asking $227, which is extremely high in this market.

That is way high...Maybe 180,000 maybe... any 38 over 200,000 I would call Shogren about this bad ass 38 he has for sale. If I had the $$$ this would be the fountain I would love to buy!!!

I agree to high..He told me the corrosion is from storage !!, wow ,all repainted ect., but drives look terrible, my boat is 10 years old and drives look like new.I am dealing with him now but he needs to realize it's not mint as he tells me.
