No box. I'm 17-17.5 x dimension I believe.(standard on the pleasure) My prop shaft was 4-4.5" below bottom.

I will be setting up the new drive exactly like the other except 1-2" shorter. the mtr and drive and new hatch is heaver by at least 125#
I will most likely run a 5 blade 30 pitch. I can always space down to the original location somewhere in the 1-2" range. These boats need good clean water to help lift the bow and reduce slip. Not to mention if you want to run in rougher water and stay hooked up.

Do a search on "prop Shaft" B- stubs had his dialed in no doubt.

It would be interesting to see what the prop shaft is on the stepped Pantera

Don't want to jack a thread up, but I gotta say I'm glad to hear that brotha !! :cool:

Yes, the thread has been hacked to pieces sorry Berk

Trust me, you couldn't be half as excited as I am. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (It aint over till its over)

Wish you the best dude, let me know how it works out..

Hacked & jacked thread, why ofcourse..

To late that happened within moments of buying an offshore boat regardless of your question !!

Haha !! Just messing with you guys.. I'm not personally familiar with the fuel systems on a 700 vs a 525 so my only suggestion is to make sure you have a good fuel system and I'm sure you will likewise need some efi upgrades of some sort as well.. I'm no efi dude so maybe just a tune, don't know, but make sure that part is right..
