thanks ! Your bottom is way different than mine. I don't know my x -dem. but the top of the gimble is about a 1 inch below the rub rail.I will take pictures this weekend so you can compare.

Lookin' good there 565:D :D :D
I do think you will wind up spacing the drive down though.

[Gmoney]

sorry 565edge for the slow reply .Im having problems with my camera. Soon as i get it back from being fix i will post the pictures of the bottom of my boat. I measured my x-dem. measures 5 3/4 down from the center pod and 5 inchs down fom the sponson. Remind you this was done by elminator for good all around performance not for good top end numbers.

[565edge]

No problem gmoney.How far down is your prop shaft from the center pod?Are you around 8"?

[Gmoney]

The propshaft is 5 3/4 inchs down from the center pod.

[565edge]

My center pod must be alot shorter in depth.My x dimension is 2" higher and my drive is 3" shorter.That puts me at 3" down.Hmm.

[Gmoney]

From the pictures your center pod is a good 2 inchs shorter.Also my center pod stays the same shape to the back of the boat.I do not have a step in th center pod at all.

[565edge]

They told me that the mold was the same but they put inserts in the mold to create the step.Are you going to cut your hull up and re-glass?I saw a arneson for the bravo conversion on ebay a couple weeks ago.Hope it works out.

[Gmoney]

No.I think I would be opening a can of worms! I 'm going to try it the way it is and i hope a 5 blade chopper prop will give me enough bow lift. If it dosen't work I'll put the bravo back on and sell the drive or sell the boat and look for one like yours. Have you heard of anybody changing a hull? I would think you would have problems cracking.

[565edge]

I wouldnt trust it after moving the floor up.I would worry about cracking it up.I think with the props of today you might beable to get it to work.Plus your moving the prop back more.That might give you some leverage.IM looking for exhaust and all the accesseries off the front of a mercruiser motor.I need water pump,power steering pump and alternator with brackets.I would like to find the serpentine belt style.If you got anything or know where i could find some let me know.Thanks
