WOW, Ian you going to try shorties on the Mondo Condo? Thats alot of boat to push with a shorty! I always wanted to try a set but didn't want to cough up the scratch to find out it wouldn't work for me. If anyone can make it work you can!!

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

I would recommend that you only go 1" shorter. 2" will be to much and you will have to buy five or six blade props to get on plane. You can go with the 2" if you also add extension boxes.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

Yeah Ian, go with -1s (not that I know any better)...but if you find a set of -2s, send 'em my way...my boat used to have them, but the former owner took them with him and put standard Bravos back on. We'll miss you guys this weekend.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to try 2" shorties on my 28 Daytona and if it's too much I can always add a 1" spacer. I do run 5 blade props, which was the best move I ever made anyway. I think almost any boat could benefit going to 5 blades.

Patriyacht- You'll never know if the 2's would work unless you try them. If they don't work, you can always add a 1" spacer or they even make them in 1/2" increments.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

I'm looking too.

Ever since I Got a set of 5 blades,
I keep wondering what the'll do for it.

The 5 blades really hook up.
( I don't know if the boat even has to be in
the water to make it move, with em on:rolleyes: :D )

Tres Martin had a pair of cases in the
classifieds last week......they were gone
in an hour.

I'd pay decent $$$ just to rent a set to see how they work.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

2's will make it a little harder to get up on plane. I have -1's on the TG. We are offering it for sale with or without drives and motors. We will put the std Bravos back on if it sells without the XR/IMCO's and they will be available.

If you do not think an inch makes a difference ask the Mrs. :D

5's are great but when you get throttle happy and push it to the stops or jump it out a few times there may not be enough slip to save your lowers.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

I'm going to buy just the cases, shorter vertical shafts and drop in my lowers. If everything works, then sell the bravos.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

The boat already has boxes on it. The previous owner had shorties on it but he took them off before selling the boat. Right now the propshafts are about 6 inches below the bottom, the hull has a notch and the boxes after that. If -2 is too much, I can always use a spacer to bring it down a little. Shorties seem to be in short supply right now. I called Tres Martin the day after he listed them and they were gone.

Btw, congrats on the new crew member Don! :)

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

I'm looking for just one. [email protected]

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

This is the best price that I've found so far, brand new. Maybe a group buy from Cp Performance is in order. I need two and two short vertical shafts. Does anyone know if Fred (Trick) can get these? He usually has great prices too.

Re: -2 inch shorties
 

the case comes as a kit with the short shaft - Stern Drive Specialties gave me a better price than CP
