A few more photos. As far as shorties go I am going to run the boat with boxes on and see what happens. I have spent a little more than what I wanted as boxes and shaft that were sent were not exactly what I was told they were and the normal additional cost of items that I did not forsee. If I need shorties they will come in the future.

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.
Looking good Will hopefully I'll get to see it tomorrow if I get my ass to bed so I can get on the road in the morning.

The old rule of thumb was for every foot back
go up 3" ( i.e. IMCO making a 3" raised box)
I think it probably has more to do with running
angle, and current X dimension
If the boat runs flat, it doesn't need to come up that much.
If the X is already fairly high, it wont have to come up as much either, but it still needs to come up some.

to get it up a little higher,( at least into the 4" neighborhood)
The older boats ( late 90's early 0's)with boxes
didn't have them set all that high....that would
probably where you would be, comparatively.
JS's would be the one to try to duplicate ( X dimension)

No not adjustable...Only Stellings was adjustable. Would like to go -3" shorty, but uppers aren't in my budget.
