After reading your Threads I think this is the best choice.

Looking good, did going with the SCX upper raise your X a little.

Good choice and thanks for sharing. The SCX is much heaver than the XR and your boat will deffinatly sit lower in the water. I agree with your 1" to 2" guess that the boat sits deeper in the water. The SCX upper also moves the prop-shaft close to 3/4" further back to fit the larger gear-set. If you can raise the drive 1/2" it would probable help. If you have a -1 lower you could order a -2 SC lower and see what it does. You can space down by 1/2" from that point. If you already have a -2 SC lower on the drive now, well ... not much you can due.

Cheers,

Bo

Yup, I’m with a -2 now. If I loose a few mph, that’s ok, there is always someone faster. My main goal these days is stay off the tow rope.

Hope all is well with the engine and the fuel injectors. I started following your post here. Man looking at the extension box only in the water --- before and after drive swap --- it looks like a min of 3.5 inches deeper if not more -- Have to ask if this is an apples to apples comparison with how your boat is loaded / weighted down including fuel level. Thanks, glad you are back on the water.
