28 Skater Engine Centers
Kind of going out to double rigged and anyone else who might know.
What centers have you found the engines to be mounted on 28's from the factory? Any variation from the factory? Has any experimentation been done on different centers, how much of prop blade is in the tunnel, best location for speed vs handling?
Curious what the centers were on the Secret Agent/Mobil1 boat and others that were exceptional performers.

Mine are 51 1/8" from Skater. Photo was when I got the boat. Props are now Dewalds turning out.

Mine are at 51" also and boat s factory drilled. Wonder if the ones rigged by others were set up the same or not.
The 24 mentioned with the engines moved out 1-1/2", how did it perform and handle compared to original location?
