31ss x dimension?
I checked the x dimension on my new to me 31ss and it is aprox. 6.5" below the hull. This seems awfully deep. Anyone have any input on what their dimension is, or what it should be for optimal performance?

Check to see how far the exhaust is tucked up under from the bottom of the swim platform. When I had my 31 (500 EFI's ) built I requested a high x-dimension. There was little to no room left between the exhaust tips and the bottom of the swim platform.

There is only 2" between the top of the exhaust pipe and the swim platform.

I thought for sure this would get some responses.

you can move your motors and drive up with out moving your exhaust tip holes, you just have to get some custom risers made that drop lower to your tips. . 6.5" below the hull is DEEP but some people like it deep it depends on who she is lol. But for real id move them up at least 4''. 2.5'' below the bottom leaves you some play room.

I am hoping to get away with using some shorty lowers. Just wanting to see what others have for an x dimension before I go out and spend the $ on them.

Thanks for the reply. It seems everyone's drives are DEEP! Hopefully someone will chime in that has used shorties or moved their drives up.
