Did you get your extension boxes,I am curious to see what they will do for the attitude of the boat.I have thought about installing but Steve Stepp said it probably would not do me any good.Keep me posted.

Hyper, you be carefull with that boost, The only way to pass HYPERACTIVE would be for her to break.

I did buy the extension boxes from Bonecrusher here on the board, They only have 40 hrs. on them. I got both sets complete with XR drive shafts, steering rams, hoses and all the hardware, new paint and shipped for $3,500.00. I thought that was a very good price.

He got ready to ship them and noticed some scratches on them. He decided to have them completely repainted before he shipped them to me. Not many guy's would have done that. They are curing and should ship the first of the week.

These are set @ 13 degrees, meaning if the stern is 13 degrees the prop is the same height with the boxes. The 320 has a 16 degree angle so the props will be a tad lower 0.0524 to be exact. The equation is 16 degs. - 13 degs. = 3 degs. tan X 1' or 12" extension = 0.0524 of an inch lower than stock. With the 1" lower XR's I have, it will bring the props up higher than stock even with the boxes.

Also while I'm apart, I bought new Imco helmets and HD gimbal rings that should ship Monday from Imco. The helmets have been on "back order", Don't want my beautifull nose smashed into my speedo with a broke gimbal ring.

Steve told us the same, they probably won't help the speed but might help the attitude some, tricking her into thinking she's a 33 footer. I think it will look cool. Steve said he didn't know of any one that has tried it yet. He wants me to let him know how it works out. I guess I am doing the Captain Kirk exploring new worlds thing. If nothing else they will make good trotline weights! I'm hoping for them to settle the ride a little.

Here is what they look like, they have the wings with the rams and Bonecruchers boat on the cover of HOT BOAT Mag,
