I'm probably going to keep the Powerflows. Headers would be much better. I would like to keep exhaust tips where they are for a swim platform or steps.

My thoughts on an X is it can never be too high. You can always add a spacer or an extra blade on the prop

I got the Bilge gel coated and now I am doing the final mock up of all the fittings. I installed the transom drive and Kplanes. I will do the IMCO steering tomorrow. It’s all looking good now. After I get everything mocked up I’m going to disassemble and perfect the gel on the transom. I have to be in the right mood to drill all those holes.

More progress. I finally learned how to get a good result spraying gelcoat. The transom looks great.
i got the engine dropped in and it aligned good.
Now on to the rest of the rigging. Fun part.
