So what is the plan with the boner sump drives? You gonna stick with 1.35's or swap to 1.5's?

I think the boat will be faster and a better boat with the 1.5’s. My plan is to change drives or atleast change gears at some point.

What is everyone doing as far as drive “toe” on a setup like this?

Curious as to what the responses will be. I've always set mine with zero toe or as close as I could get.

Ohhhhh, so you're planning on this boat being fast?

1/16-1/8" in. Meaning less distance at the nose than the prop shaft. Just the way I do it, not necessarily right or wrong

Ok Jamie, so what's the benefit of running the drives slightly toed in verses dead straight? School me because I've always wondered.

I believe this "number" is fairly accurate but in or out may depend on which way the props are spinning? Not sure, just putting it out there.

I will be spinning in.
