Beautiful boat. I'm curious how the Armstrong bracket changed your handling. What props are you using now?

I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

How wide is that pad?
What year are those 250's
Do you know the gear ratio in the lu's
Thanks I'm putting a 26 together with twin 250's and a 30 inch bracket I've got 25inch motors sounds like 20's are the way to go?We have invented the world; WE see

They are 03 motors with 1:75 gears. Started with 25" and I shortened them to 20". Only went with 24" set back and Stainless Marine Gorilla jack plates with a plate between them and one jack plate pump. Seems like 32 bravos work the best all around. 88 mph at around 5900 to 6000rpms. Are you putting together a Seebold? Or another 26.

You shortened them? did you get 20" mids or did you cut the 25" down ?
The lower units that I have four holes up front where a nose cone would go, not sure what gear ratio ... no blow out?
The boat is a old inboard 26' Sleekcraft aristocrat that I put a 8.75 pad on , It also had 2.4s on it last time in the water, not sure what the speed was.Last edited by CUDA; 02-25-2015 at 07:35 PM.

The older XS 250s were higher compression , said to make 275 prop shaft HP . pre 2006.
What gas do you run in your motors, sticker says 91 premium, just bought another 100 gal transfer tank I'm going to fill with off road 90 , I'm sick of the ethanol problems.
Yeah your pad looks wide , wide is fast. Old Bill Seebold lives two miles from me .
Nice projectWe have invented the world; WE see
