Re: Extension Boxes and Set Backs
MY OPINION ...is that the notch is an aid to lift the bow...without having to buy an expensive "add on". However...I have found it alone not sufficient on this hull ....thus the additional setback.

Re: Extension Boxes and Set Backs
It sounds like there are pluses and minuses to the different types of extensions...
Mounting the engine 3" higher sounds to me like it may effect the CG negatively...
Tom,
I am probably repeating my self now, but I think you should talk to Mike (Zuperboat). PM him and ask for his phone #. He can talk boat all day and night just like the rest of us.
The Zuperboat had a neutral Imco box and a -2" short lower.
However, the Zuperboat is lighter than a Y2k...
If your leaning toward the Imco how about this?
Imco neutral box mounted 1" higher than the standard X like Krack's boat.
Then with a stock length drive, the prop would be 1" lower than the Zuperboat was rigged and 1" higher than Krack's boat.
Sounds like a safe compromise...

Gary,
I don't think John has ever used a Imco from talking to him, but I'm sure they both will work fine. I may be going to 900+ hp if I don't crack 100 this year so I know my idle will be on the high side. I'll need the xtra shock absorbtion of th Imco shaft.

Don't you ever sleep?
I guess when I have another Babi, I won't sleep either...
