What is your goal for this boat. Want to race it or is it a ski boat. I don't knw anything about ski boats but race boats is a different thing. Race boats run way above 80mph

So Right you are! I've been trying to tell; MINES a SKI Boat for decades!!! Who cares as long as it goes forward! That's the class APBA forgot to add!

Tim's right on the strut engine, and the v-drive plate usually sits above the center fins! Give or take a few centimeters!! Lou says 9 degree strut too! But Tim, you all run b-boats so copy copy copy!!!!! After all, they only install different colors to tell the competition apart! Hee hee

For what it's worth most all the good running raceboat I have looked at over the years, the rear engine mount is just at the front of the strut to the middle of the strut. Most used the Chevy spacer and flat rear engine mount. Tim

Secret stuff now Timmie, but check my strut angle, Lou copied it and notice my fins are set farther back due to my long nose! And chin! front fin is in perfect alignment with said drivers junk!
