I currently have 5" setback and propshaft is about an inch below pad swinging a 26 chopper 6300 rpm at 77mph on gps..The boat runs and handles great with just me in it..When i put in a passenger I cant get the boat to lift.Its turns about 6000 and drops to about 65 mph and has alot of steering torgue..Lowering the motor an inch helps alittle but the handling goes away when by myself..I was thinking about adding 2in spacers to help lift the extra weight..What do you guys think???????

Vectors should have been center steer, but then again, they were designed when the 1500 Tower of power was the Mack Daddy of power. You shouldn't need more than 5" to 6", but another 2 may be just right with a load. :cool:

That was going to be my other option , to make it center steer and build a rear seat..I`ll try some expermenting first..
