Default 38 Powerplay Extension Boxes ????????

A friend of mine is about to purchase the last 38 Powerplay to come out of the factory, he really like's the boat and all the options, but has a question about to install extension boxes or not???? He has Sonny Lenard 615 C.I. 800 H.P. nataural motors. He is about to have the boat rigged in the next week and wanted to know plus or minus to boat handling and speed's. Thanks for the help.

He is going to have Imco extremes, Active Thunder is rigging the boat.

If you have a 35 - 38 foot twin, V Hull, with extension boxes, do you like them? Do you wish you did not have them? Can anyone compare the same boat with them as to one without them?

I am not a fan of ITS's on V Bottoms. They seem to work great on cats, Never seen a V work good at all. Most of the time it will not plane well, has too much slip, and top end does not seem to get better. Never can seem to get any prop to work with them either.

Just My 2 Cents.
