Hi jake,hopefully this will help water pressure,i'm sure it will.

love to try an overhub cleaver.

job done..

Turned out nicely, but the LU appears to be too low in the water. With a cleaver you could try underside of prop hub on same level as and parallel to keel. Had good results with this as initial setting on Vee-bottomed hulls. Good luck!

Yes is too low,i have some things to sort out before raising her up. Because of the extra length of the nosecone,i need to mod my transom set up,should be sorted by the weekend,then up she goes,cheers

That looks like a realy good job done.
was this welded on ? and was the original water pick ups just filled with weld etc ?
realy does look very good and like an original race gearbox.

Is it safe to use a jack plate on a cat ?
What's the speed differance in puting a cone n raising ?
And do a 13.5 cat like small diamiteres or large dia props?
Thanks tring to get in the cat world
