I have a short stagger..love it..big improvement vs my 04 side by side of the same boat. positive's were all mentioned above and improvements of 3 mph were gained..Negative's..harder to dock for less experienced. You will have to use some throttle when trying to spin around in a circle on the reverse motor and bump the forward motor in and out of gear to get the spin going in a perfect circle...once you get the hang of it..it's great.

The Fountain 35 picked up 10-12 mph going to a full stagger. My 42 pivots easier than my 38 side by side did. I am sure 17 x 38 6-blades helps.

But would the benefits be there? Trade off for a smaller cockpit?
not sure if the math was done on it but i looked into staggering my 34 and decided it wouldnt work. I think it may have to do with the shorter boat not being able to handle the CG moving forward as well as down.

Deans 38 Fountain full stagger pivots fine when splitting the drives. A little slower but no prob at all. But than again it IS a Fountain so

As close as 18"

Short staggers 23" to as much as 26" if memory serves me.


I believe the Outerlimits run majority of theres right in the 23" area.

Full Race most boats seem to be 18"


Hope that helps
Jon
