Wheeew! That's good to know...
What were your results after you raised up 2"? How did the boat handle and get on to plane? What did it do to your trim while underway?

I'm running 29p Hydro p5x's, so hopefully planing won't be an issue by raising up 2". What brand of props are you running and pitch? How much speed did you pick up?

Re: 28 TD Daytona x dimension question?
Follow up: I had the IMCO 2" shorties installed a few months ago and finally had a chance to try them out a few weeks ago. With 5 people aboard and nearly full tanks it took me forever to get on plane, it was actually a ***** to where I don't want to deal with it. I had 3 of the guys get clear up in front cuddy just to plane out and then within 15 secs. I was overheating. Needless to say, I had to idle back and put the boat back on the trailer. I touched base with the dealer who installed them and it sounds like going up 2" is obviously too much. I didn't get a chance to run any performance numbers due to overheating. So many variables involved. A tab might cure the planing issue, but then I'm still overheating probably due to water pickups starving for water being up too high without boxes. I don't really feel like adding a tab. Anyone have any ideas? Might put some 1" spacers back in with hopes I will plane out better and get my water flow back. It has been suggested to add bottom pickups to get my overheating under control, but then I still need to get my x dim correct. This was definitely not the results I was hoping for. Again, any recommendations would be welcomed... My Eliminator dealer is at the regatta and poker run, so I haven't been able to discuss exactly what needs to be done. Help?

what gear ratio? I would of thought that with a 2 inch shortie the prop would of been blowing out if was to close to the surface.
