Imco Sc Or Teague Platinum Drives??
Looking to purchase new drives. Want to avoid moving motors forward for trannys. Rather than a regular XR, would someone recommend a Teague Platinum or an Imco SC. It is my understading that IMCO has beefier case and tower. Any thoughts? Boat is a 37 Outerlimits with 540 pushing between 620-640hp.

Went with imco's late last year, no problems after 50 hrs. Spoke with Teague and looked at the other options before making the decision. I run 800hp/890 torque in a fountain sport cruiser. I wouldn't hesitate putting the imco's on yours. If you want to know more about the imco's or my decision, pm me.

I compared the two drives carefully before i purchased my IMCO SC. Teague basically puts a XR drive together with their hardened parts. IMCO gives you a solid lower with the optional 1.25 prop shaft and their upper case is water jacketed to cool the drive, plus the secure the top cap with 8 bolts rather than the standard 4..
I run 750hp and should have no problems as long as i change the oil every 10 hrs. IMCO recommends TORCO.
Compare the drives, you will see the difference.

I would argue that the MMW is the low cost. You get what you pay for. What is the cost if you break a drive?

the work max machine does is second to none...if you want a drive that will last, call jason and aaron...they may not have the name that the other two do, but they don't break like the others do!!!
