Congrats on being the first guy in our group to drive the 46. Jesse is next in line I heard!

BTW, Im not sure if Im understanding this correctly, but did Scot go from an Outerlimits to a Cigarette? This is not going to go over well.

The #6's were rigged on that boat down in S. Florida by TnT. With 1200's, it ran faster (by 3-4 mph) than any other side by side Top Gun ever has. My point is that the boat was setup for top end speed. With the 800's in it, it's a beeotch to drive under 60mph. Dropping the drives with a 1" spacer would probably reduce the slip, gain speed, make it a better handling boat overall and be a heck of alot cheaper than doing all of the work and expense of raising it.....which probably wouldn't improve anything about the boat. In my best Forrest Gump voice, that's all I have to say about that!

The slip has been pretty low, and the only handling issue we've seen (so far) is the porpoise mid range but some tab takes that right out. My thought is going up 2" with some bigger diameter props will gain speed drop a few rpm and run just as efficient, if not better. It's about the deepest 6 install I've seen.
