The other #6 boats hav an 18 to 22 inch shaft. They rigged this boat way farther ahead than that. I have run 5 blades and 4s. I have run into the wind and chop, on flat water, with a tail wind, you name it. It simply cant stay flat without alot of negative trim. I had Brad Schoenwald in the boat too. I am confident in Larry on this one. I'm gonna go ahead and move the motors. "Lube Jobs" and others are running really well with the motor on an 18 inch shaft. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Someone make me an offer on this boat! It's ready to go. May have a new boat lined up but this one has to sell first! Can't have three of these things!

Prob a big Vee for the room again. You can't beat the ride and handling of a cat though so you never know!
