extension boxes
Anyone out there running extension boxes on their Cafe? I'm considering it for my 1992 Cafe Racer, who can tell me what realized gains they have experienced?

Re: extension boxes
Hi Guys,
I was intendending to use the Miami Boat Show as a "shopping research trip"
for the very purpose of researching whether to add boxes on my '95 Cafe.
Tres,
What kind of dollar versus mph result is reasonable provided it's "done right"?
Do I have to "start over" with the external steering on the boat now?
Do you prefer a particular manufacturer of extension box?
Chasin Cash
P.S.
The fuel pickups work great... Thanks!

Re: extension boxes
Hey Tres,
I'm curious about which boxes you used too? I've been looking at the Imco boxes and I see they offer a neutral and a 3 inch rise. I'm running stock Bravos on my boat and I do not wish to raise my engine height, my flame arrestors are literally a half inch from the engine hatch.

Re: extension boxes
I would think that the power and/or the existing top speed of the boat in question would have alot to do with how much / how little speed is picked up. Meaning, I would think that extension boxes are more effective on boats that are ALREADY running over, say, 80 mph BEFORE the install compared to ones running, say, 60 mph.
