X before with -2 sportmasters was 22.3/4 now should be 20 3/4 right , with 18 inch propshaft centers . 2 drive pics are from the pad 2 are from directly forward of the drive , that pic is running about 70 or so before the action starts !!!!!! Eric sorry for hyjacking your thread but I think everyone wants info on these settups .

Again Im glad to here yours is working out well , man that slip is low !!

That's to high.

No problem Dean...I want you to get it right. Maybe R3 can chime in with some advise on what may be a quick/easy fix for you.

Man I hope I dont have these same issues...I think we have the X jacked to the moon on our setup...we shall soon see. 30% slip is crazy high! Something is obviously wrong.

Other than the -4's, props and the big strainer, keel pickup and intercooler pickups what else did you do on this latest round of mods that could of contributed to this?? I honestly don't think the drives are too close together...I mean look at how close they are on Poker run boats and Fountain's race boats. I sure hope you get it worked out...I know you will man. Thoughts?

Something else to bounce off of ya'll here......

When alot of #6 boats run a high x dimension, the prop is set back much further from the transom in comparision to where a stock scx-4 location would be. Alot of cats I have seen with the scx-4 have extension boxes on them. Setting the prop further back lets more water to it and it also has more leverage on the bow. I would think adding a spacer could achieve "similar" results.

Like TRL505 said, maybe RF3 can comment or elaborate on what he thinks of this.

If you were 22.75 before now your 24.75, that's about 1 inch to high.

Right Reggie I thought about that after I wrote it , so you think a 1 inch spacer should hep ? I was wondering how high is to high . I thank you for your input I wish you were closer . hay I hit the 1000 mark I win . not

Yes Erick thats about it thats why Im excited as you to see how yours runs oh and that I have 1.34 gears maybe I should have went 1.5 ??

It looks like your about 3.5 inches above now, is that right?

How many rpms are you turning at 90, what pitch props?
