That is not the case on my boat. The Imco neutral box figured in the degree of my transom on my application for some reason. I had a 71/2" prop shaft height stock, now with a 2" shorty and box I am at 51/4".....:drink:. The 25 your speaking of must be "Wilcard" and what a sweet 25 that is.....:eek: Wish I had Mercurys help on mine and someone that could really dial it in! Good luck with your testing and keep us in the loop on your results.....:ernaehrung004:

SD, your boat runs real good based on what I saw at St. Clair. If it is staying together have fun with it. Laughing about all the speed lie comments. Ran with a friend this weekend, walked away from him easily. At the next stop, he says "how fast were you going?", I say almost 75GPS, thats all I got. He's like, mine runs 78-79 all the time, how are you passing me? I just smile lol. When it comes down to it as stated previously, when the water kicks up, they are all plenty fast. Thats were mine shines, 70 in 3-4's makes almost everyone else disappear.

Hahahaha, we always call a GPS the "Lie Dectector". The guys that run 70 and tell eveyone they run 80 hate it!

The ext box whacked 5+ mph off my top end and killed the boats ability to carry bow in rough water no matter what prop I used and shortie would let boat blow out around 95 mph, drop the bow and try to swap ends. I think that stuff might have helped mine when I only had 700-750 hp and was running in the high 70's/low 80's but I really feel as mine goes faster it rides higher and it reaches a point where moving drive up makes it lose all it's bite, 5 blade might help but with 1000 plus ft lbs of tq I have already seen how fast you can break billet shafts when I tried them, I have all the top end I can use so I quit trying to go even faster, Smitty

Heres is Quents beautiful 100+MPH 2750 Mid Cabin Open Bow.

I copied Quents paint style he on his 24 bowrider with a 710 in it.

1000HP Dustin whipple BBC on 93 octane.
950 on 91
SCX upper Sc lower.

I wish I had my hatch pad made like this with the cushion surrounding the vent as pad is much easier on the elbows.

I also like how Kevlar looks in the mold.

Thought it was worth throwing out there.

Smitty, did you ever look at the bottom of your boat, the way it's designed
