Scarab 29 advise needed
Hi guys
Im thinking about installing a 12 inch extension box to my scarab 29 and would like to know if anybody has done it ..
Has anybody out there installed an extension box on a scarab 29 and did it make any difference in ride quality and speed ???????
My motor is a 570Hp 502 I built
Thankss

Last winter i closed the transom and raised my X dimension 3 inches
Brought the slip from almost 20% to14 - 15% which is great and gained 3 mph !!!!
My nose cone now is aproxx 4.5 to 5 inches below the Vee of the boat !!!!
If I put an extension box on it, should I raise the height another 2 or 3 inhes again or keep my height and go with a neutral box ?????

If you go with a neutral box, you are pigeon holed with what you can do. If you go with a + box, and you can always space back down. At the very least, if you are happy/comfortable with your current setup, as was already mentioned you need to go +1 to maintain.
