I want to try one but i have not getting much info on them. I dont know if it need 1'' - 2'' or 3'' shorty, mine is a single engine i think i can't go as hight than a twin engine setup but i am not sure on that.

For now std height bravo lower i am 7,375'' below the edge of the V of the hull and my cavitation is 1'' over the edge of the V.

Also the 26 Bravo made the boat handle much better than the mirage I had on it. I can trim way more and for cruise I run it about half trimmed normally it carries the bow really well.

I had a 97 29 with 540 ci 825 hp with a -1 inch imco lower case. i had rocker put in the hull and it ran a 26 pitch prop at 5800- 5900 rpm speedo would say 85 mph

What do you mean about rocker in the hull?

Most people wouldn't believe me but my livorsi speedo is really close to my gps. If I redo my transom someday I want to raise my drive height about an inch.
