My drive is raised already compared to other 33's I have seen by 2.5-3" I am going to test when I get to Florida if I ever get down there then go from there. One step at a time.

Shoving them back a foot, in effect, lowers them.

Should get the boxes on tomorrow. Waiting on some parts for the motors but they should be in on Wednesday so hopefully we can get them in on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. I have run into several issues on this little project but so far nothing we cant handle.
When you paint the bilge did you only paint the bilge itself or up the gunwales and inside the transom too?

If you did, what did you do - cut in around that stuff?!

Keith,

If I had had a month and my own shop I would have removed everything, epoxyed the all the holes, and painted it correctly. Instead I cut around everything but yes I did the gunwales and the transom as well. I put two coats in there and I could have put two more on there as well.

Will

Well the last two days have been educational and a little costly. I finally found all the parts and pieces that I didnt know about. We got the Transom Assym on and the port motor in. Other motor goes in tomorrow. Drives should go in on Monday. Bajakid402 has been working pretty hard. As the weather here has been pretty bad I have had an extra week to assist in almost the whole thing. Here are some more photos.
