Yes anyone know if they are new/changed? If so is this because of huge speed lose in big hp single drive boats? After all I thought that was what the lowers where targeting....

About a year ago they offered a standard SCX with a blunt nose lower or a pointed lower called the #13.
Now it looks like there is a new lower for the SCX-4 where the skeg angles up towards the nosecone more. I also think they have a version with a longer skeg which would help handling when the drive is mounted higher.
Very confusing though
All you need to remember Pete is you need a full SCX UPPER AND SCX LOWER to gain the reliability your looking for!

Did you have the old style "sharp nose", or the "blunt nose" and switch to the new style where the skeg runs up to the tip of the bullet?
Did you notice a difference?
Where is your propshaft in relation to the bottom? Even, below, above?
Thanks,
Rob

I was wondering if you tried the old style SCX before this newer design, and had comparisons. I have the sharp nose style and am contemplating going with this style if it truly performs better.

In talking with imco the extended skeg is there to cut the water and to help keep the stern from lifting too much. Note it only has a small hole in the nose cone for water pick up. Not designed to cool the engines so plan on external water pick ups

I have the -4's now and for craps and giggles I tried using the drive for water. Great pressure up to getting on plane and nothing after that so I kept with the external PU's. As far as the extended skeg that's what IMCO told me too. I just don't want to be another guinea pig on the new style so I'd like to hear about actual performance changes from one lower to the other.
