Questions On Extension Boxes
 

ARE THERE ANY GENERAL RULE OF THUMBS IF EXTENSION BOXES WILL BE OF BENEFIT TO YOU? DO THEY WORK AS WELL ON CONVENTIONAL V 'S AS STEP BOTTOMS? ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES PERFORMANCE WISE BETWEEN STELLINGS AND IMCO BOXES? THINKING ABOUT PUTTING BOXES ON A SLINGHOT ANYONE TRIED IT? THANKS FOR ANY INFO!

Good question Glenns. I have wondered the same thing. Has any body used the drive boxes on a Formula F357 or F311, and what kind of luck did you have? Propwash...

a standoff box put teh prop further back and into cleaner water but its effectively lowers your x dim.

Most people eitehr run a plus height box or a standard height box with shorty lowers.


ou get improved handling plus potentially raised xdims

Good Question. I haven't been convinced yet of the theory that it always moves it into cleaner water as I have been fighting high propeller slip numbers with an ITS on a step bottom. I have been thinking that it may have moved it into more aerated water from the steps.

very possible. I know boat run like crap with them.

I heard the single engine (25' i think) AT runs like crap with a standoff. Like handling issues and speed loss.

so no standoff boxxes aren't beneficially on every setup. Best bet is to contact themanufacturer and se ei fthey have any additional setup info.

a friend of mine put the stellings boxes on a older 32 active thunder and picked up 4 mph

I THINK THAT IS WHAT I MAY DO IS CONTACT HUSTLER TO SEE WHAT KIND OF INFO THEY CAN GIVE ME. I JUST THOUGHT SOMEONE OUT THERE PROBABLY HAD TRIED THIS SETUP ON A SLINGSHOT OR SIMILIAR HULL STYLE. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR IMPUT SO FAR PUDER, H2mark, and ZAHNDOK. IF I GET ANY INFO THAT WILL HELP WILL BE SURE TO POST. THANKS

sweet let us know if it works and you pick up speed!

let us know, good luck
