(1” with the spacers installed) If we did nothing but move the drives out 4” on the same horizontal plane, they would be at least 1” below the bottom in that relative line.

For my experiences in the bilge, the best reason for staggered setup is the relative ease of serviceability!!
That can't be an unwelcome bonus. I can't imagine changing the plugs in a side-by-side twin set-up. Thanks. Brad. (937)545-8991 |

The steps did their job at a much lower speed, allowing for higher pitch props when the hull was seeing a lot more wetted surface. Thanks. Brad. (937)545-8991 |
Look up "ben perfected" i think cg is approx 35% forward of the transom. They had the boat fully fueled, both drivers and picked it up on 1 sling at lake x to determine that.
ben perfected is a 30 panther B class boat that holds a world record of 104, haven't seen sprague on here in a long while. alot of info on how it was set up with the how and why's. |
