Nice. I imagine with the stern weight of sbc but good power its a dream coming out of the hole. Do u find it a little rougher in big seas being lighter, or no since its stern light it prolly doesn't carry the bow so high and cuts nice. ?

I believe the shafts are 1 1/4" embarrassed to say I don't know the prop size. I never looked. It is a 1:1 drive so they are relatively small. I haven't been out on a calm enough day to run her wide open for a true top speed but @1500 she runs 10knotts. And 24knots at a cruise of 3200.

Haha. Nice setup!! I didn't buy it cause of the added power of the 440s. Don't get me wrong it's nice to have, but more so the reliability.

When I saw your price in comparison to what I'd hoped mine would bring should I ever sell her I threw up a bit. Certainly a deal of a lifetime for someone.

My only concern is, how much can those nylon threads take. They are pretty fine.

Well I installed the new stainless rudders tonight. And used 1/4" palmetto brand graphite coated flax packing. In the product description it says nothing about marine use. Just that it is for seals in pump type applications and it is safe for water use so well see. My only complaint is that it ...
