nice job man

Bill,
In your case, that's probably your prostate. I wouldn't go sticking a wire in there. ;)

You may have inspired me to close in my transon

I have a master angler and I think it would look great closing in the splash well hanging a bracket and looking like yours

But that would be a project for the next winter season

I want to run the heck out of mine this summer

if you decide to do it, i used a 27 inch set back. just enough to get the motor up all the way. i think 30 would have messed up my CG to much. and as evryone says use a flotation bracket. mines not the best but i have seen alot worse as far as flotation goes. some look similar to mine but are not as tall so you lose alot of flotation not being able to set it as low as possible. i love the extra room in the back now, no more squeezing past the leaning post and falling back onto the power head.

Bush, my low speed is around 18 now @ 2800, not really sure where it wants to fall off plane with this Stilletto - the other prop sucked and was 23 or something. Lots of HP keeps it on plane pretty good but that old prop I had when you came was terrible about low speed, actually high speed too, different boat entirely.
