Eric if you really wanna go all out just buy my SSM4 stuff and boxes might as well gain more speed there too!! then you can move engines and heights anywhere, Konrad stuff would pay for it free swap! I considered using this stuff on mine but do not want to take it all apart, boxes have 3" up and down, drives can be spaced 3" tons of dialing in..

At this point if I was going to change drives I would go with that number six but I don’t want to add any more weight to the back of the boat my built platform is a bit heavier and I’ve taken a lot of weight out of the cabin I like my Conrads it’s a newer style drive super easy you get any parts four and they seem to hold up well to the power that I have in my transom is completely done really trying to make forward progress on the project lol

the beauty of the konrads is the trans is back in the extension box. they are good for mid power and i dont think they have shorter lowers and such. they were a good answer to trs boats being converted. I dont think they will be the fastest but sometimes that isnt the most important goal.

My Konrads actually don’t have the extension box the transfer hind the motor like a normal set up I do have the 540 Konrads but they are the sport lowers with the nose cones and -2.. Where the boat was set up they were actually kind of High The boat ran the best with 30p 5 blades. With the boat running in the lower 80s with only around 625 aside I don’t want to mess with the power and drive too much because it was a pretty good combo

Another option for fuel tanks is Kehrig Manufacturing, they are in SE Michigan. I'm not sure how long of a lead time they currently have, but they make a quality tank. https://kehrigmetalfab.com/marine-fuel-tanks

You sure you wanna move the tank forward ? I always thought the more weight towards the back was better.

Well with removing the entire cabin I lost a lot of weight up there. And my new swim platform is 130 lbs heavier I am a bit concerned about being bow light and smacking a lot. We’re not putting to much back up there. Just want to make sure I’m not sacrificing ride quality to much. I k ow it will be lighter and faster but most of all more solids those liners move and rub the sides so much. With new full bulk heads in its going to be a lot stiffer next
