[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 512277, member: 3438"] Congrats! I take it, it is going to fit in the garage :) Given our expierence with a MG Xi3 52" shaft on the 17' CCJ, would not go shorter. Our collar is set 6-7" below the head, to allow for easier store/deploy. If both people on are the back deck, as in netting a good fish in the current, the prop will break the surface. I think same will happen with only one person in boat, on the back deck. Even if the MK collar is all the way to the head, it will be marginal. I have only had biminis on pleasure boats. On a fishing rig, I'd want those slider mounts such that when booted, it will reside at the transom, but when deployed, will be more toward the center of the boat. [/QUOTE]
