I know that the horsepower loss thru the #6 is slightly more than a Bravo and the NXT-1 is less than the Bravo. The Imco 1000 drive is horrible thats why there arent many out there so I'm told, The XR/IMCO Extreme VS The Konrad is an unknown to me with comparable power, the only West Coat boats that I know that are using them are a Skater 30 flatdeck with 700 Illmors and a 38 Eliminator with Med/Big power that Ive seen in Tahoe and Havasu

Bagged,light lay-up, poker run interior etc,etc,etc, you know the drill !!! It might be done for Desert Storm ? My buddy Ralph is doing his at the same time with 1100 Teagues/Quads/#6's
80 to 130 mph at warp10 
He's propping it like Jensons boat ,,,all acceleration I was in your boat with 6 blade Herrings,how do the Merc 38's compare?

Debut at Desert Storm Then they should be starting your boat early/mid March. I spoke to Ralph at the LA Boat Show. 1100 Teagues The 36 6-blade Herrings were nice. Handling, acceleration, everything. The 38 5-blades are bigger wheels so acceleration was obviously not as good but still incredible.

Thanks for all this great info guys. I have ran side by side with the ilmors in an Advantage and they ran great but have been heavily discouraged by everyone (builders and boat dealerships) here in the midwest to go Ilmor because they are so difficult to service and get parts. Is this true or is it going to be a problem(tools, access to parts, shipping, etc.)? thanks again Hammer

They were staggered 6-blade 36 Herrings. Yes, they are one of many sets of DeFrees's race props. That same day we also tried a pair of 6 3/4 5-blade Merc 39's.

there was aprox 3 oz of oil left in that motor when I drained it and had it sent out for analylization, Merc says " run it and see what happens" this is 1 week before I go on vacation to Tahoe for 4 weeks .HOW WOULD YOU FEEL after spending 250k cash on a boat and 20k for my rental ?
