Yeah the whole drive setup restricts everything but you can run 1/4 props but you will need to sleeve the prop like I am doing. I will see how the drive setup will work on this boat. Those venom boats look like a knock off boat with the price jacked up a couple hundred bucks to me but I may be wrong. So much reconstruction that I wish that I have went with a new bare hull and built one myself instead of doing this one but hey its a lesson learned
