Re: 36' Y2k
With all of this talk about stretching boats, I have been thinking about how to feed mine some grown hormones...
How about a 12" extension box and 380 K-planes in place of the 280s?
Would the boat handle the rough like a boat a foot longer?

Re: 36' Y2k
Pat remember that moving the drive back 12 inches will lower the X an inch.The plus 3 boxes from imco need the motor to be moved up 3 inches.You still need steering wings and rams.Between parts and labor I think you would be better buying a good hydromotive 5 blade or a 6 blade herring.

Re: 36' Y2k
Good points ZZ...
I would not want to raise the motor up so I guess I would need a shorter lower.
I do have dual piston Imco steering, but I'm not sure if the rams are the right length.
I believe that the 380 K-planes will go right in place of my 280s.
Project would be for next winter, so just knocking around the idea...

Re: 36' Y2k
Fx...Here ya go getting me thinking again....
Do you think the 30 with a single Arneson would carry the bow ok?
As I said JC likes to scare me with the talk that one minute you want a cheap boat and then the talk of Arnesons and all the $$$ and R&D to do it.
Arnesons are cheaper than outdrives but modifying the mold etc. Again as I've stated the dialing in time. which I dont have alot of...Still in my dreams I'd love to set it up with the big A.
Baja;
Yeah, Ive been busy around here. My boat was picked up over the weekend, My bro dropped off his pristene 68 Mustang GT-390 off here before his wife does somethin crazy to it...Things are getting ugly there....And of course I had to take for a nice rip! before putting it in storage! And went to see mom in Sag Harbor sunday, shes not doin so well either so needless to say there have been a bunch of diversions...
