Jim,

WOW!, Thats great power.

We had a great time this weekend, missed you guys.

The past weekend, we participated in the third annual Ft. Myers Offshore (FMO) Thanksgiving weekend run.

Our destination was South Seas Plantation.

For us it was a round trip of 100 miles, by boat. The weather was perfect, the seas were a bit bumpy, and SSP is an amazing place.

This was my wife Nancy’s, first ride in this Skater. I dropped her off at SSP before the event started.

Thank you Bob Barnhart and the entire FMO board/team for a great event.

I have posted the 70 pictures we took at

Here is Nancy, just before the ride back.

how does the xpower compare in price ? Its a neat looking drive. you are really testing alot of new hardware, good luck.

JIMKID Motorsports · 11-30-2008, 04:59 PM

its a little pricey but there claming it will hold up to 1400 hp its over kill for my application but i want it bullet prove they have a stainless stell gimball ring for the housing also which is the weak link in the bravo but they use a number 6 prop shaft on the drive which is nice you get to run real props

Thats is insane power.

My SBC race motors were 374cid, 14:1 cr, race fuel, modified ported singe 4 barrel carb, ported & polished intake and heads, CMI dry exhaust, and I made 680hp at 7800 or something like that, its been a while.

This efi stuff really works well.

Call me when you get to FL.
