Argo Cat 23 with Mercury Bridgeport

Hi,

Building up a 90's Argo Cat 23" with Mercury Bridgeport EFI.
Freshly assembled and startup.
Hopefully driving this soon.

Looking forward to see it running.
How high is the motor mounted, in relation to bottom sponson/propshaft?
Have 21ft Argo.

Hi.

Will post some pictures after the lower unit is in place. Hopefully this sunday.
Because of the Bob's lift, it might be a bit high I guess, but hopefuly the big setback helps.

Hi.

at the moment it looks like this. Will be testing this weekend.

Attachment 542809

How did the test go?

Hi,

sorry for the late reply.
Will propably need a flap at the end of the tunnel. Had 2:1 ratio lower unit. Did not reach speeds that were hoped to be reached.
Switching also to 1,87:1 lower unit, this is being fabricated.

Fun to drive, but not fast enough..

What prop are you running? Seems to be slipping a lot.

Mercuy racing cleaver 30" is in the video.

Yeah that set up aint working for you at all. Ive only had launches that bad when my motor was too high. Sweet boat you have there I'm sure its going to rock when you get it dialed in

Hi!

Here is another video from that day, my friend driving the boat.

In the first video it's me, and my first time driving the boat, and also a catamaran style boat. Used to drive with max 19 feet single hulls. So maybe I was a bit too precautios.

But not quite follow you with it slipping a lot. Maybe the first video was too short, or I was too scared to step the throttle?
