Well, spring is around the corner and I will be starting my drive swap project soon(which will be documented for he donzi tech section).
I noticed the centerline of the prop shaft is a good 6-10 inches(not sure on this) lower then the bottom of the hull.
Would it be possible to raise the x dimension slightly without completely fiberglassing the back of the boat and recutting? I know it may not be the right way to do it, but it doesnt hurt to ask.
Regardless if the X dim can be raised with or w/out filling in the transom. One thing I am aware of that you guys might be able to help me with. The tilt mechanism on the 270 drive is fairly high up is there any possibility of raising the X dimension to a point where the ram on the drive will hit the top of the deck?
If I have to fill in the transom How should I go about doing it? (materials, etc)
I plan on welding a cone onto the drive for better flow and I have acess to a 25p stainless cleaver prop that is labbed. :D
thanks for any suggestons and help in advanced! wink
