CANT BELIEVE NO ONE HASNT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION

Sorry, but I spent almost a year developing the Stiletto with Pro Boat, and especially took a lot of time to get that lower unit to function like a race-unit, but look like a scale unit... It's a KILLER unit, and functions great, especially if you take the time to blue-print it, as described in my race prep thread, here on this site. I COULD be a little offended by your post comments...
However, being that I have broad shoulders and don't easily take offense...
I will tell you that the bolt pattern on the transom should match up almost exactly with an OS Lower... I'm not sure if the stub height will be able to be correct with the stock OS adjustment range, but I think it should be relatively close.
I think that a Lawless or other race style lower can be fitted if you use a Dubro 3.5 mount also. I believe the pattern should match up.
You'll save a bit of weight with different lower. The stock one weighs around 13oz, if I recall. I think my Lawless weighs about 8oz...
Have FUN!

By all mean no disrespect on the design and the time that took the develope this boat and the components that make this boat complete however I'm more like a looks kind of guy and also performance but I just don't want my stiletto to look just like another stiletto and still perform as well , however my first time on the water with it everything still stock and the shaft assembly broke on itOriginally posted by Darin Jordan View PostSorry, but I spent almost a year developing the Stiletto with Pro Boat, and especially took a lot of time to get that lower unit to function like a race-unit, but look like a scale unit...

As Darin said read his race prep thread do as he says in there and you won't have any trouble apart from regular wear and tear I have one done all the race prep and the boat flies and in 12 months I have broke 2 flex shafts and that's it, as to the outdrive part of the outboard just change that for a hyperformance one fits in exactly and works very well. I do recommend you read darins thread well worth it.

I don't think it looks as good as the stock one if I'm honest. Does it perform any better?Comment
-
it actually performs better than the stock one plus you dont have to make all the mods like the stock one and is lighterOriginally posted by jamespl View PostComment

Hey serpent can you please inform me on what outboard did you put on your stiletto and are there any problems with it? Anymore broken flex cable? Also I am curious why did the stock stiletto have the motor cover and yours does not, will water mess up the motor if the boat flips?Comment
-
The was a OS outboard unit , there is really no need for the motor cover as brushless motors could go underwater with damaging them just spray some corrosion x and the way you go , performance wise OS outboard units are much better than stock just my opinion but then again I wouldn't waste my time putting it on stilleto on a different hull yesOriginally posted by rhengst22 View PostComment

Where did you get it? What flex cable did you use and where did you get it? And wait so why not put it on a stiletto hull? You did.Comment

I used the stock flex cable that came with the OS outboard , at the time I didn't know much about tunnel boats and as i learned more about them I came to the conclusion that the stilleto is just and meant to be just a rtr and not a racing boat then again this is just my opinion , now if you want a good handling tunnel to start heat racing aquacraft vs1 is good start but needs to be converted to fe as it is a nitro hullOriginally posted by rhengst22 View PostComment

You can find the OS OUTBOARD HERE ON OSE , it is a bolt on deal with no mods needed besides modding your cowl to fit the motorComment

Here is a link to a vs1fe video I had on race trim running with modded nitro tunnels , the boat red and whiteComment
