Has anyone tried with a Bravo XR or similar high X-dimension drive?
Was figuring here (I´m looking for a 26 Spyder and took one for a test spin this week *did Impress me Again -this boat is one of three that I know or my friends have owned) that with a bow lifting 4 or 5 blade plus enough horsepower (I´m thinking of charged 350 mags) like 400 a piece should improve these boats speed ....also think 280 Kplanelike trim planes and you could actually run a speed with this relatively short boat...
Yes I know I´m hooked on a 38Kv but right now can´t even think of one....it´s enough I at least can be in my friends one once inawhile..so whadda you think?
I at least dont even think of stepped hulls....here in Finland boat manufacturers and Navy has experimented more than enough with them...The never run smooth enough in the Baltic...(remember it´s a shallow "lake" with devastatingly hard chop )
