Entire cabin is getting redone, replacing the transom, and then if there is time, prep the boat for Glass Dave to paint. This may be a two year project before it hits the water. I'm curious to see what crazy canucks boat likes, as it's a fairly similar set up.

Hey Dan, my drives are even with the bottom with a spacer on them. Did you guys ever do any testing without the spacers or do you figure it was well sorted out long before it made it's way out to you?

I believe that the boat was set up for the Catalina Ski Race. That's why it has the spacer in the drive to keep the rooster tail down and to get on plane faster. I don't remember that was a long time ago and we were still racing back then and testing 2 to 3 boats a week.

Have a set of 2" spacers and studs if you need some

Thanks, makes sense. The guy that owned it back then changed his email address and that was all I ever had to contact him.

His name was Jody Martin. the last time I worked on that boat was 2004. Looked back old invoices we never played with drive spacers just trying to get motors running good.
