Need expert advice on set up. SHOULD I RAISE THE OUTERS SO THE PROP SHAFTS ARE EVEN WITH BOTTOM LIKE CENTER ??? (originally set up with quad 200's - outers were 20" shafts and inners were 25" shafts_
37 Midnight Express
triple 225 optis (outers 25 center 30")
24" bracket
12,500lbs w/approx 100g fuel
22 Bravo ones
5900 rpm
top speed 56
cruise 4000 41mph
4500 45mph
(Good all around performance)
fuel tanks -middle of boat stern to console /console to bow and side tanks console to bow.(1,000 gallons-don't use capacity)
Boat is stern heavy.
Tried Mirages, Bravo Ones and Rev fours. 58mph w/ Rev fours @ 5400 RPM
sluggish hole shot
Thanks Tony

Hey Tony,
Give it a shot and we'll compare notes post the testing. Your boat has been a pleasent surprise already compared to the norm.
We know we can improve the current hole shot / ability to get on plane.

Thanks Brett, you and your guys have been awesome. Just wanted to see if I could get someone that has experience with this set up.
Tried Scream and Fly waiteing for response there also.
Don't worry, you know I will be calling,

Brett this is a post from BROWNIE. THE KING HAS SPOKEN.
NOW WHAT!!!! ONE MORE ENGINE
While you might get a little more speed with the outside engines raised, in rough water or running hard in beam seas, the outside engines will clear the water a lot, and beat the hell out of the shafts and gears. I would leave it alone.
