Hey Scott...

the only boat I know currently running the ITS, is the High Noon boat (Extreme). they havent run enough races to really know if its a better setup.

I was considering it and after some thought, Im glad I did not.

When you spin out, and you will eventually spin out and tear your drive off the back, The ITS is much more money and time consuming to replace.
Not to mention its 5 inches shorter than the others

Stellings Box or Imco is the way to go IMO. They are proven and they work fine.

What boat are you rigging or considering?

thanks for the info. We bought the old Kiss of Fire boat. We plan on doing complete re-rig and paint this winter and be ready to run in the spring. we are new to racing so its gonna be one heck of a learning experience but we are looking forward to it.

congrats on the boat purchase and we at team imco wish you the best and look forward to racing with you in the future. you are going to love svl- competition and the guys are the best! next year we could be looking at an average of 10 boats and that would be great. could we actually see 15 svl's at a race?it could happen. is everyone ready for OB? i sure am. see everyone there.....doc

Congratulations on the new boat. Any help we can give, just lean on us, anybody in the class. This is a class with no secrets and with open doors.
