The only reason I am not "Typewriter Key" whipping you is that over time you break as much chit as I do. But....you have not heard the best one yet... I bought my 2 inch shorties off of some guy here on OSO. He said they were 1.5's. EB called me and asked what gear ratio I "thought" I was running. He had to take the lower apart to check it and clean it. He said there were 1.34 gears in it. This whole time......I have been running around with the new motors and 1.34 gears in my boat......tell me those motors don't have some NUTZ!!! So, he is changing them out to 1.5's in a couple of weeks ...I have another set here at the shop. So I should pick up a few mph and a lot of midrange punch. Now, I need a set of 32 or 34 pitch bravo's. That will also put less stress on my upper gearset so it will have a shot at lasting a season.
