Looks very cool. Cant wait to hear how it runs.
Where are the propshafts at now relative to the bottom? My guess is you may want to be about even with the running surface, with the boxes. Maybe even above the bottom .5-1" with some 5 blades. Props turning in.
"10X" on the board here has a 10 meter, with #4's on boxes. He runs a pair of 850-900HP engines. I wanna say his boat run's in the upper teens, but Im sure this boat is lighter, as his is a pleasure version.
I talked with a guy locally to me, who used to Race "JUWANNA" a 38 Fever non stepped, with #4 drives. They did lots of testing at Lake X back in the day. With 700's, that boat ran 90ish.

the prop shafts are just a whisker below. the boat needed to get the drives lower than they were. in a 2 foot chop the props would blow out before and was a pain in the a$$ to drive. we mounted the boxes as the same height as the previous gimbles. with the slant of the transom and pushing them back we are thinking its where it needs to be. or at least closer. we will find out if we did it right when it hits the water lol. cant wait. will post more pics soon

he has a set of 31 4 blades 17.5 i think to try. might be right on the money. he had 650's before. the 750's and being back in the water farther we might be close. we also free'd up a little more power with the crash boxes so it might need bigger wheels. wwe will know soon. summer is here and itching to get it in the water. but its been 3 years since its seen water so whats another week lol.

last night got the battery boxes and batteries installed. wired the batteries and hid the wiring and battery switches under the new back bolsters. mounted and hooked up steering cooler and filter. all inside steering hoses done. figured out trim and drive pump wiring since it was all cut on derig when it was in florida. wired the motors and got them turning over. got spark!!. gotta hook up the linkage for the crash boxes, hook up some gauges on the motors, wire the bilge pump and fuel lines and filters, and get hoses from sea strainers to sea pumps. throw the carbs and exhaust on and time the motors. its gonna rain up here in lovely buffalo ny this weekend so i should have it fired up since i wont be boating this weekend.
will keep ya updated
