Finding the best X-dimension

[Tres]

wow, had no idea, so I would assume imco boxes and of course the props, would the motors have to be moved. How did the one you set up get on plane with the boxes.

LOng tabs help, but I didnt have any problem.I used the stelling box.

Tres, on the 36' Apache's I understand they tried boxes and I have no idea what they set drive height at but from what I'm told it made the bow take flight easily and always had to run tab to keep it down. what do you think?

They must have not raise the X with the install of the box.Slight CG change but not enough to do that.

What if you're stern heavy now? Blowers etc...

Thank you Tres, I'll have to see where my next money is spent besides the interior. if the stellings boxes will take it up and back like you said, and then some prop work, might be cool to see what it will do. It would be amazing to hit 80 with the setup, not many Tigers do it with 500's and a straight bottom, also with the cg change it would stay planted a little more. air makes nice photos, I would like to keep the props in the water.

Have you seen that new standoff spacer for the ITS from Diamond Performance?
Kinda spendy though.

I did, but unlike a stellings or imco they dont account for the raised x, you would have to reposition the motors. i'm really digesting what Tres said and might do it down the road, but it may just be easier to buy a 42 or 46 that already has bigger power and 6's.

Some enjoy the process. Buy it the way you want to use it would be my suggestion. If you can.

exactly, and this boat set up the way it is gives me great reliable pleasure, I may just take a straight edge to the bottom and lab the props and leave well enough alone, it runs a consistant 5100 5200 rpm, and 70+ full of people and gas...my 20 will be my little water rod, it should be over 100.

I hear ya! Ever since I did the resto on my Panther and then on this boat I lost interest. Now I just wanna get in and go! :sifone:

I wish you were still in Jersey cause I'd probably ship the boat down to you and get the X set up!

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

That would be nice.

Just remember to keep your eye on the Fun Meter. That's the gauge that counts the most.
