Default X Power Drive - Anyone using them?

Is anyone using this drive? I noticed they put some ads in the drive classifieds section yesterday and I've never heard of them. Their website says the drive is rated to 1,500 HP!! Also says it just bolts right on a bravo setup. No pricing on the website either. I did do a search but couldn't find anything in this section, so any information would be appreciated.

Im not running them, but if you look in the Spectre forum I think they (X-power) have a pretty stout 32 running them as their test boat. Boat is supposed to run like 170 according the post.

Philm is correct, 35K per drive, BUT they do throw in the new state of the art gimbal ring! All kidding aside, they position thier product as the last drive you will ever buy. They say buy the drive and take it with you to your next purchase because they don't break. Might be worth it knowing you will never buy another drive, if you buy that.....

Everything about the drive is perfect, except the price!!

They claim to use the least amount of HP to turn, like 7 or 12, something insanly low. The true complete Dry sump has a lot to do with it. Only drive on the market thats a true dry sump.

I have seen the drives on a Skater at the Boyne Thunder poker run, and they seemed to run amazing. The owner of the boat speaks very highly of the drives and the customer service of X-Power.
