I have a 34 phantom with stock bravo,s with the little shafts and run over 90mph. the x is high allready If the 1 inch shortys dont work I was going to install a 1 inch spacer because the Imco has a large shaft and it I think would be a faster style case.

Go for it Tom. I'm doing the same on my Talon in the fall when I get bored. Converting from small to fatshaft sportys. Maybe hull water pickups and see if I can raise the drives above 1 5/8" above hull bottom also. Setup is where all the fun is! Congrats again on new ride. Run it like your stealin it!

Its all hydrodynamics. 85-90 is the most a stock bravo will work efficiently as far as I know. Over that the water becomes aerated over the prop. Call Wilson , He'll tell you. But bare in mind he is trying to sell you too, as is everyone in So Fla.

I added the Imco SC lowers for the reasons mentioned above, I kept the same depth(1"spacers on standard length). My boat is having trouble getting on plane now. I can't for the life of me figure it out. Next will ne a prop swap. I switched lowers to get reduce prop slip on the top end and now I have it on the low end.
