raising the "X"
Raising my engines in my non-stepped 35' Executioner. Higher 'X" should make propshaft centerline 2 3/4" below running surface. Engines dynoed at 675hp @ 5800 rpm. Going to run B-1's with cones & 1 1/4" shafts. Any input concerning this "X" ? Anybody tried this on non-stepped 35' ?

Thaks for interest & replies. Boat currently running about 15 1/4" on the "X" which puts running surface about 1" below the cavitation plate or prop shaft at 6 3/4" below running surface. I figured running the B-1's is asking fot trouble, but money is super tight. Hope was that running the B-1's would last long enough for me to afford 2" shorties putting at about 3/4".

OLDER BOATS RAISING X
With no steps or small steps it seems like they run too flat & lose handling quality & lift. [ bravo style props] may be a rake issue. SSM props go as high as you can. Maybe Reggie could comment on our fears!
Would a high rake bravo style prop help? 4 or 5 blade?
