Ok would like to discuss setups on 35 single step's. I just purchased a 1998 35 lightning and I'm looking for good data. So I'm looking for this info:
Year?
Power?
Drive set up?
-extension box's?
-Lowers ?
-prop shaft height to bottom?
Spinning in or out?
Toe in or out?
-how much?
Props?
-Any props used and results?
Cruise Speep and at what rpm?
Top Speed and at what rpm?

Feel free to add any details you feel is important, for example Tab size and planning ability.

I'll start in 1st comment

Planes off with no tabs at 2600ish, does plow some, and have 380 k planes. I didn't have hydro's that I could use on 1.25" shafts but I think they would be a good bit faster

Is this No Limits you bought? Back when that boat was on Winnipesaukee it was pristine. Absolutely spotless.

Yes it is, just picked it up 1.5 weeks ago, put the shorties on, 380 tabs, and did a test run Friday.

When the original owner had it we did some prop testing and as I remember correctly the Hydromotives worked best back then.

Yea i believe he had labbed 28 hydro's on it. The guy that i purchased the boat from put a stock set of hydro's on it. I became friends with Athe original owner on facebook and he said he was going to give me a call as I wanted to see what kind of differences the box's made.
