1999 Top Gun Cigarette.....Can i swap my 3a's for 5's....???? Will i be able to get the boat up on plane?? How come we dont see many Top Guns with 5's. is there a reason for this??? What would be some advantages and disadvantages other than top speed?

I don't get the desire to put boxes on 3's....All that's going to do is DROP THE X. If you're going to put boxes on and raise your ex, just swap the drives for 5's like you wanted to in the first place. 5's will raise your x over 3's with out cutting the transom (shorter vertical shaft).
I would say if you swapped out your 3's for 5's you will see:
A) longer time to plane
B) Little more top end
C) Props coming out more often in rough water
D) A SWEEEET rooster!
