Marginmn, did you put the conversions on or were they on the boat? Just wondering your opinion the pro's and con's of the kits. I have a set in the boxes still and I am on the fence to install or sell them.

How far do they stick past the swim platform.

If you don't use them let me know.

Ask sutphen30 on here about surface drives I believe he's done some conversions. Mass guy

When i did the whipples on mine, i sold my xrs and put on imco scx uppers as well as new transom assemblies.. i have them running at 850 hp and it was plug and play.

I had them put on -didn't do the the work myself. It was part of a big project as the boat was being converted from a side-by-side to a stagger. The plus side is that I"m not worried about breaking them, they look cool as hell, run #6 drive props. The down side is paying for #6 props and not everyone can work on them. Rik is really generous with his time though and will walk you or your rigger through any issues or questions you can think of, no matter how lame :)

Not far at all. The boat is totally swimable off the back as long as you have a decent sized swim platform - especially with the drive guards (safety shields).

They are not that bad at all , the only problem you might have is drilling the holes for the extension boxes just make sure they are straight and the boxes will go on real easy

The end of the prop shaft on mine are 51" off of the transom
