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.

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
