i didnt know that about the konrads good info. boxes are supposed to put the props in good clean water. on boats with no notch transoms sometimes at speed the water was coming up too far back for the props to bite, hence extension boxes. some boat mfrs say their boat dont need them, i think thats just pride. with the set back though it changes the ctr of gravity which is why the prop line drops.

Good news on the headers. My transom does have a notch. I may really consider those boxes looked like a clean set up. All parts are ordered for engines working on getting them together. Once I get some glass work done witch will give me a lot of time to think lol I can decide about those boxes.

Run the boat as-is for 2020, boxes may make it porpoise (if it doesn't already), under 70mph. I ran next to your boat and was impressed with how it ran. Nice and flat in bumpy water cruising at 65-70. You can always add the boxes next year. You're changing alot all at once so it may be hard to determine if the boxes "did" anything for you.
