Jrocket, If you are really thinking of doing this, It would be worth your wild to call Pat at traction products. He has his own version of a #6, It's lighter, holds more HP and has less drag in the water. I also think he has a way in his set up where you would not have to move the motor as far forward as mentioned earlier. Gary Smiths 40 skater just got fitted with his drives and what I hear is it works and looks great, and he will continue to mop everyones ass at the poker runs in Havasu! BTW, Skater 40, if you read this, some friends of mine are shooting a movie on Havasu over the summer, my boat, 3DOs Spectre, and a few DCBs are doing some boat footage next friday. They ask me If I new of any Skaters that would be intrested, and I mentioned you. He has a helicopter rented, as well as some on board cameras, are you game. It sounds pretty legit, but will see if my buddies can put there mouths up with there asses. I hear there sporting cocktails and dinner at Shagrus for the guys with the boats, but it will probably turn into big macks and shakes at Mcdonalds when they get the camera bills for the day. Will see, the one guy was over at d-row this weekend drunk talking about how much money he makes, so lets see if his alligator mouth, can out shine his canary ass.
