you need to use a wing plate to connect the steering. you will need a custom made longer pin to connect the trim rams to the drive as well. you will need longer studs to mount the wing plate on the drive. Then you will probably need to do what I did to airate the props for planing. Drill lots of holes in just the right places

Has anyone had a comparison between the Blackhawk and an IMCO 2" shortened lower? I would think this would bring the difference down to 2-3 mph.

Thanks Ian. That was going to be my next question. How about it guys, has anybody tested a B-1/ Imco 2" shorter combo versus a B-Hawk on a single engine cat (or anything else for that matter)?
