did you break the 1" in the snot, or flat water power up. I ask because I got xr upper on the way, and still want to test with standard x dim

What speeds did you see before the break? My boat has a xr lower. No issues last season, changing some stuff around for this upcoming season so hope to be safe. Look forward to hearing your results

when the shaft finally broke the water was not bad. But it may have twisted prior to that day. The boat ran a bit over 100, but I never ran it with my new prop.

Here's 800HP on a Nordic.

Not bragging by any means, I'm looking for spare drive.

I have an XR with 1.25 prop shaft. I hope my little 700 hp motor doesn't give it any problems. I always granny throttle.

Good Luck

You are just over the edge,in my opinion. I would start building a back up drive(less down time).
