Sorry, couldn't resist. I get corrected half the time I post, with good reason, lol.
It was interesting at Bens with your 6s going on Mitches boat, Mitches 3As going on Todds 38. Wonder where Todds TRS went to?
Your 6s were so nice I thought it was a mistake to paint them blue. But, look they are awesome. Your gundrilled titanium tiebar doesn't hurt either

...................yes lots of mods between three boats.Speaking of tie bars,....here is the monster tie bar (Titanium)
weighing. ( 9.6 LBS ) after gundrilling the inside out. Weighed 15 LBS.
before drilling.
( Mitch's 38 cig with wetsump #6 conversion 1:62 gear ratio)
Torque multiplier,....lots of mid range acceleration

Mitch Joppich 38' 1.62 ratio WETsump
Curt Ganos 38' 1.62 ratio also,.........not sure if Curts is Wet or dry?
Dan Adams or Nautikitty would know for sure.
Nautkitty ( Parnell ) also ran the 1.62 in his 41' Saber
and Curt and Parnell ran together alot.
All these boats are maintained, wrenched on or stored at the same camp,
See a pattern with the gear ratio? It Works! Pretty tight group of enthusiast.
Besides you'll do more boating in mid range than top end
so why not have a gear that gives you the acceleration factor?
Thanks

I'm running that setup as well. It does pull hard in the mid-range!

But Curts and Mitchs both in the 90s with with 1.62 ratio
and Parnells 41 Saber im pretty sure was a touch over tripple
digits with the same gear..
So anything from normal cruising, ............pulling right up
to WOT is going to pull very hard and very quick with this gear ratio.
The 1.62 acts as a torque multiplier,.....so it adds a nice adrenaline
factor to it when you pushing on the sticks.

Good to hear about the windshield. The template worked OK?
Not sure of Oldschools power or speeds.

(big CI naturals). I'm sure that I'll move back up close to 1000's in a few years. It's paid for and I'll have it forever. 
What power is Curt running. I think that I remember it being 950 Chiefs??? Mid 90's for speeds?
