Actually I think it looks like the upgraded drives that BIGGUS put on his CIG. I can't remember what they are called right now...BRAIN FART!

Don't really care what the heck it looks like, is it stronger?

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
 

A restyled case should pretty well kill the value of used bravos. Of course, the rebuilt ones will cost the same while new ones will cost more because they are discontinued.

Why no dual prop? did volvo patent that?

Re: Merc's new look for the XR drive
 

I don't expect it to be any stronger,just easier and quieter shifting, no clunk like the old ones. It just kinda easily and silently goes in and out of gear like a hydraulic trans. A nice improvement, but the stronger drive is down the road,I heard maybe Miami show introduction?

There was an article in last months power boat with pics... they re-desined the top cap to be stronger and the main focus was on the shifting, like magic said..

I bet it will look pretty tight with an ITS setup.
