Those plates I had made should be covering the cavity, no?

Yeah Joe ... 12 mph would be nice ! I'll be happy with 4 or 5 ... drives were set @ 6 inches ... the real test is getting on plane ... this boat has always had a little trouble ... 3 blades... ha ha ... forget it ! 4 blade bravos ... ok with some blow out just as it rolls over then hooks up 200 -300 feet later . That why I went with the p5x hydros ... had good results with them on my Nova ... with better speed numbers than the bravo's .

Here is a picture of the plates Imco provided to cover the open area @ the rear of the gear case . Sportmaster may be a little different ?

Never had an issue with the dual tie bars ... as long as there adjusted the same ...they should not bind .

Let me know when you guys come out and head south alittle bit and I'll meet up with you... Boat looks just as good In person as it does in the pics.
