    When I ordered the boat I told Steve I wanted to be able to water ski with ease. He may have lowered the height for this reason. I need to measure my X to know where I am :notam:
    The boat came with a stock Mirage+ and when I tried a Bravo I labbed I lost about 4 mph.
    I then tried a stock Rev 4 (by Merc) and picked up 2.5. It was 14.625" in diameter compaired the the measured 15.125" the Bravo I. Then I put the 2" shortie on and the Rev 4 was too, much slip. Put the Bravo I on and picked up about 2 to 3 over the stock height with the Rev 4.
    The boat with the shortie and Bravo I does just fine. At very low cruising speeds (25 to 30) I tuck the drive in more than what I did with the stock height.
    I want to try a 5 to see what goes :idea:
