Thats a nice one !!!!!!!!!!!

Today I saw a pic of a full stagger Glad, so there ya go.

What is the center to center on full stagger and 3/4 stagger?

Man, I love that boat! Coolest Gun made in my opinion.

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

The old 90's Super Hawaii 34.

rigged a full stag glad with its

I thought Wolverine (29' Mirage picture from the classic offshore section, Mirage Boat company thread) was a staggered set-up, I could be wrong, I haven't seen the boat in person in over thirty years. Back in the day the race boats had staggered small blocks like Gallo Wines (a 30 something foot boat, not sure if it wazs 30, 31, 32??). Wild Turkey, a 35' Cigarette (located here in NJ) had staggered small blocks at one time. Both are race boats, but as you mentioned. those boats had transmissions.

But I think like you, with todays small blocks, whether it is the old style (for affordability purposes) from a builder like Bill Mitchell, or the newer LS blocks like the LSX (from GM Perfromance Parts), I believe a new 28' Pantera T/S with staggered small blocks would be one helluva boat (for example purposes) with ITS Bravo Drives. I could live with less back seat room, for the improved balance, handling, speed.

Wolverine & Lil Rhino were 29 Mirage's with staggered set ups. Gazpacho too??

From what I have been told on a fountain side by side drives are approximately 36 inches apart a short stagger is around 24-26 and a full stagger is 18 inches apart. Staggered motors lower the center of gravity so the boat is not as tipsy/flies straighter and the drives being closer together are more efficient.
