We had an AO 26 w\ 800 HP and ran the SCX upper w/ a SC lower. I’m assuming the tunnel dimensions of these two hulls are similar but I don’t know for sure. The hull did not like the 5 blade Maximus prop. It worked best w/ standard Bravo 1 non labbed props. The most memorable experience with the prop testing was how sensitive the hull was to just a 1/2 inch difference of prop shaft centerline movements up or down achieved w/ spacers. There’s definitely a sweet spot.

3 up box w/ 1.5 inch spacer. Bought the boat w/ the box already installed. The previous owner blew up the engine testing x-dimensions so I stepped in and threw some money at it. Eddie Young did the work. We originally brought the prop down 2 inches and then settled on 1.5. Planed better with 2 inch spacer but significantly faster at WOT w/ 1.5 inch spacer.

Nice set up! Curious what she ran with that power. From research and listening to Teague on Tech, the Maximus and Max5 ST are two different beasts. The Max5 ST has a bit more diameter along with a shortened tube and is designed more for cats to settle the azz end down. No stern lift. Thanks for the information it is appreciated.
