X dimension, prop shaft measurement
I measured the distance from the center of the boat bottom to the prop shaft centerline. It measures 3 5/8" below the boat bottom.. Is that a normal depth? I would be interested in what other Velocity 260 owners are seeing for that measurment? Has anyone tried a 1 or 2 inch shorty with any sucess?

I had the shaft level. Steve said it was the standard x dimension & you would need a 5-6 blade prop. He also said no one tried a shorty on a 26.

I just eye balled it, but the angle finder is a great idea. I will try that. Did you do any bottom work? Did you see any gains?
