Vector extension box

[Daytona47]

just picked up a vector and couldn’t leave it alone for more than a weekend. I have seen a lot of 210’s with boxes hanging off the back, has anyone had any experience with an extension box and a shorty on a vector.

Good looking vector [emoji1303]

What motor is in it now?

What are the performance numbers so far?

It has 510 cubic inch. Previous owner claims 80. I had it around 70 on Saturday before the drive went infront of pirates den

I can’t say I have ever seen a vector with an extension box.

you will need steering as well if you decide to do that.

@Melloyellovector 210 had an extension box and he pulled it off, might be able to provide some input

Did the 3a drive require one?

Yes planning on adding steering either way. This boat should have hydraulic steering on I think going over 75.

Lotka's vector with the #3, that Lynch had for a long time, had no extension box and ran well into the teens.

I don't think an extension box will benefit a vector much tbh.

Where are you seeing a lot of 210s w extensions?
There’s very few that I know of.
There’s a handful that have big power and most actually have #6 drives not extensions.

Mine orig had merc ITS,nothing but problems, removed it and put IMCO transom and it actually performs better then before

Vectors can run good w short drive but also depends where you’re at power wise. Extension seems pointless on a vector, trim can get nearly entire boat out of the water at speed.
510 running 80. I’d fix your current drive and leave it alone. Enjoy the boat your still hanging w most of the boats out there.

Unless you like snowballs, then throw an ITS on it or IMCO, build the motor, throw away the used drive you just got, and start the endless chase of speed and performance.

Probably no help but...
I had a 250 Eagle w/a box.
And 1 without.

The boat with the box took a completely different set.
After I got used to it...I "felt" a discernible difference.
Lotta fun once she was up on the pad.

Trying to avoid the snowball.. already went down that road with my Daytona. I’m
Hoping I get a few seasons out of this drive I just picked up. Haven’t gone a season as long as I have been boating with out rebuilding a drive.

What he said. Fix it and enjoy it. I would not mess with it unless your ready to spend tons of money and be without the boat for the next couple seasons.

No need for an extension box. Rebuild the drive and maybe put a 2” shorty lower. Doesn’t need much for those boats to run mid 80’s
