I have been viewing all the specs in this thread and found that my 35 with a single step with 525SC's runs the same as everyone else. But it also has ext boxes and I thought they should give you 3 to 5 mph . The motors are brand new and the drives are mounted high, I can not trim the drives all the way up with out them trying to come thruogh the swim platform. This summer I have to put some limiters in the trim indicators. Every one tells me it should be running faster and something is wrong. I know the boat is tuned to a T. jetting is right on , timing is at factory spec 35 at 4000. botttom is clean. I guess it is as fast as it can be but fine with me. It is one nice boat.

I was hoping for more top end as well - I'm run'in stock drives & no boxes - when I spoke with Throttle up last week, after reviewing my #'s they suggested 1 spacers to lower my drives thus reducing my slip #. I'm kind of getting frustrated - so far my best run was 83 - even after having my engine builder come & tune, jet & time them in the boat. oh well

I have ext boxes on my 35 also, they do not help as much on a notched transom like a Fountain, where they show there colors is on a flat transom boat

P4-those are great numbers for a non step! did your x dimension change when you swiched to the Konrads???........signed- still dont have steps

did Reggie change their stock x dimension as the years passed???....doug

Thanks, it's taken some tweeking to get it here.

Konrads work out almost 2" shorter (1.68") than a TRS. I started out with a 1" spacer, then a 1/2" spacer, then took them out altogether. Just kept getting faster. Throttle-Up tuned up a nice set of wheels for me, too.

I considered putting a set of Konrad boxes on, but I haven't heard anything definitive about how much it would help. Plus, I wasn't jazzed about jacking up the motors to make them work. They're doing the engineering work on a "shortie" lower, so I might give them a try once they're out.

She's also pretty light in the cabin. Just some padding here and there. Everything else is up in the attic in the garage.

From what I understand - the newer 35X's 01-05 have a higher X dim. as compared to '97-'99 models - this would explain the Top Speed differences. Is anyone running -2" shorties on a '97-99 model??

Ran Dom- I see you had your hatch off in the above pic.......how much did that sucker wiegh.....????

not to heavy - twin style - it's back on now - I ran it like that to make it easier to check for leaks & potential problems after my rebuilds.

97 35' 600hp, -2" imco shortie's, 28 lab hydro's, 89.6 mph at 5600 rpm's, on a cool september day with 2' chop, by myself. On a normal day I run 86 to 87 depending on fuel and passengers. I never ran good with Bravo's.
