    Pocket or No Pocket?

    Has anyone run a boat with pockets for the props and shaft? Wondering how you liked it. I know they have a shallower draft and are faster but I have heard some of some cavation problems. Any thoughts on from anyone that has run them?
    Here's a pic to help:

    Any differences in backing down or maneuvering at the dock? Those 7s look like you got'em off a torpedo!

    I never had any issues with my old 35 Cabo. That boat was a dream to run.
    I could back that boat into a slip only a foot wider than the boat with no problem. For trolling, it created really nice trolling lanes.

    I have them on my 36' sea ray. Very easy backing and the trolling lanes comment was dead on.
