Hi!
We are working on a project for 2002 involving a Skater 24 and twin 2.5 Mercs (Promax). My friend Frode is a professional F1, F2 and Offshore (Skater 28 w/twin 2.5's) driver, but we would be very happy to receive some reccommendations about:
@ mounting of engines (how far from the transoms centreline)
@ propshaft height
@ setback
@ manual brackets vs hydraulic brackets
@ props - Merc cleavers or other brands (Mazco, Spinelli, etc)
@ props turning in or out. On a Skater 28 Frode had best overall results spinning outward
@ gear ratio's
@ steering systems (Latham, Marine Machine, etc)
Cheers and thanks,
Toffen - Norway
