Drive set back with stand off box
How come all you guys experiment with drive height but not stand off dimension. I read many threads where it was just a case of 'standoff didn't work so I took it off'

We do work with boxes. You can often improve the boat be using set back.

We don't make the boxes ourselves we dial in boats with different diameters when Stelling boxes or the like are used.
We do alot with OB boats and brackets or jack plates.

I didn't slap a box on my boat in a afternoon then take it for a spin and decide,nope,that didn't work. I spent thousands on the box, weeks of pizzing around re-rigging and aligning/building parts then a whole summer of prop and spacer testing and re-testing. After trying about every combination of prop and spacer with negative speed and handling results,I decided to remove the box and go back to my old set-up. As far as having a custom box built a little longer or shorter with almost guarenteed negative results-no fukking way,Smitty
here is a pictorial of what I went thru to install the box
