Re: Stellings Boxes
Boxes will put your props deeper in the water ... if you don't raise the X ... you will go slower
Boxes give you more leverage to hold the bow up while running less trim ... less trim will push the boat more straight ahead instead of more trim digging down to push the bow up.
Something like that

Re: Stellings Boxes
I have not been able to put a lot of time on my boat yet, but the first two trips out i could tell a big difference. I went from trs to Stellings boxes with Imco Extreme Shorties. The boat is a lot more responsive to trim and planes very well for having and 18" X Dimension. My shafts are 4 inches below the bottom and my boat is one of the few Hawk 40's with a notched transom. They also look a lot better than puny standard transom assemblies.

The inch of rise will get you back to the original x-dim. The box allows the x to be raised even further from there.
