This may sound like a stupid question to some, but, if the transom is still uncut, and the stringers have not yet been driled, how is it setup for ASD's vs 6's? Ive seen 6 drive boats w/ the tunnel extension also.

There is DEFINATELY something different between this boats hull and the hull Skater builds for SSM 6's. I am not an expert but my sources are...
I called Skater direct and the conversation quickly began explaining my SSM 6's would not be a good combination for this boat since they (Skater) set it up for Arneson drives.

The hull notch is very different. You CAN NOT run sixes without hull modification. It has a rocker in the hull. I spoke to Skater about this hull. It is a an expensive conversion. This thread and the boat are a waste of time. The Bank is nuts.
