Pat, Spoke To John He Felt Good About Ext. Box, Especialy The 12"...should See Good Results.

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.

AMEN!

Did I mention the Stellings removes the Merc damper on the flywheel which reduces shock to the outdrive. I am sold on the IMCO just for that fact.

Bash,
Std hight or 3" rise and stock XR drive????

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...

Hmmmm. I gotta mail Mike.

Lots Of Thoughts Here. We Will See What Happens With Superbabi And 12" Stelling. I Feel John Knows Best What Y2k Needs..........

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.

Tom, 900 Hp. Wow !!!!!!! On An Xr Drive ????

Gary, 4:48am???
Don't you ever sleep?
I guess when I have another Babi, I won't sleep either...
