Ya, thats what i was thinking. I was running high 70's with almost 700hp, with a full load. 75 with a 525 is huge compared to me what what it takes me to get there.

64 YOU TOLD ME 68, BUT your drive was like 14'' x = 7 5/8'' propshaft height which is deep.ERNIE just raised his propshaft height to 3 3/8'' on his 31 sutphen single picked up more speed and more bow lift I took pics from the 46skater at 75 or so. the sabers should be around 4'' on the singles for height for handling and speed, well mines at 3'' if its right and I need to get back to it ,shooting for mid sept now boy only if Dean had my motor done last yr on time Iwould of had a GREAT SUMMER instead of busting my azz in 90 degree temps everyweek. so whats the x or shaft height on the single for sale, and you guys with twins should look into 2'' shorties over the winter you could pick up 4 to 8mph with new props and lowers. 26 sutphen 85gps with 525, 31 sutphen 85 with 750 to 800 hp both singles and the 26 weights close to a saber 28 so theres more speed in these sabers with right x ,cause the suts have high x's the ones I know of and theres a lot around me. Igot to get mine done and kick azz.

Have considered a set of shorties, but I have been told it takes away from the boats performance in rough water, and that is why I bought it. I would also be concerned about getting on plane, since in rough water I really have to ease her up to keep from blowing out, although 4 or 5 blade props would probably make up for the higher x.
