I had a 24 bravo on it last week best I could spin it 4800 and around 68mph. I have been looking into prop shaft height now. I think it's way too high. But I'm not exactly sure how I should be measuring it.

I would love to try a set of 5 blades. Or the 4 blade Hydro's that are supposed to give a lot of bow lift.

I have been looking into drive spacers for thr TRS drives but have not been able to find any. Does anyone know who makes them?

My boat does not come on plane too bad the bow does point high while coming on plane and the props will slip some as well but not too bad.

At slower speeds like 50mph the bow feels pretty light and rides pretty normal. Once I lay into it the bow drops and the boat rides level at best.
