Default Sportmasters on a 42?

Anyone running them and if so are they shorties or standard length? How do they compare? Boat is 04 EX with 525s.

Thanks.

I have an 07 lightning with standard length sportmasters. It also has the ITS boxes. When I bought it it had 1" spacers, I removed them to see what the difference was. It only picked up about 1 mph, but it lost some handling and trim response. I think I'm going to put the spacers back in.
My x dimension is 22.5.

Ok. That would make sense. Your drives are set back further and higher when trimmed. was thinking the standard length would be best for me with no ITS. Thanks

TRL505 used to have -2s and broke about 9 of them per side. Double that number for uppers.
