Cut Mid?

[Moto17]

Ok. Time straighten out the cut 15" vs the factory 15" debate. I am strongly considering sending my 20" off to Marty Powell this winter so I have a 15 for next year. A factory 15 is out of the question for me at the moment due to funds. Opinions? To dangerous?

Unless your going off shore you should be good.

What does he charge now?

I had mine done by Calhoun Marine in Elloree SC. Very happy with it. If I recall correctly it was about $1,600. Had my shaft cut by black magic racing in VA. He can cut the shaft without removing from the case.

Last time I checked, He charged 975. I won't be going offshore. Strictly freshwater.

Marty has been doing mids and shaft shortening in case with a special fixture for at least 20+ years that I know of he also does the shift shaft with no issues makes off shore snout too great welder machinist has fixed a couple windowed 2.5 you couldn’t tell they were done

Marty cut my mid fifteen years ago - not one issue. Paint still looks good. You have a standard 20” or an offshore? My opinion is the standard mid is pretty thin, but an old 20” ridgeback will be rock solid after the cut.

I have a standard bass. I'd feel better with an offshore, but from my understanding he puts plenty of straps and reinforcement inside to keep them strong.

Chapman did mine years ago. No Problems.
