Of course it is. It’s just the consensus of experience is that the direction of where you want to put the money will return little if any gains. You asked what could be expected with such mods and the brain trust has spoken. I’ve personally have spent more time and money going backwards than I would ever admit to my better half. ;p

I appreciate that you call yourself the "braintrust"... which, I'm not denying. Lol. I always appreciate advise, or warnings... whichever this is... ;-) I agree, money in the motor is the way to go.. but I was hoping to do motors next year... this year I guess I'm looking for some bolt on speed. Maybe I should buy a huge fan from an air boat and bolt that on. Hahaha....

Tim, For curiosity I measured the lifting strakes to understand what you said earlier about lifting strakes being to short.... mine stop 12 1/2' from the transom. According to "Mild Thunder" ( https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/cigarette/359107-straight-bottom-cig-lifting-strakes.html ) the 38 scarab is 10' and the straight bottom Top Guns are 14'. Sounds to me like it is pretty similar to a cig bottom profile. I mean... what other differences could there be?
