I'd throw on a konrad w/ an extension box.
probably 15K for the package.

I would think the Konrad would throw the balance off with the weight of the tranny off the back of the transom?

What do you think Lightspeed or Fx10?

You need to talk to Mike about the setup if you're going with a Speedmaster. He has done lots of testing and comparison to Zul's boat that also has a Speedmaster. PM Zuperboat, and get Mike on the phone; he can help you deside which drive. You may want a #5 not a #3...

The Zuperboat ran 85mph with a 500+HP/540, Imco box and short Imco/Bravo drive...
She now runs 80 or so with 600+HP/540 and Speedmaster, but the right prop has yet to be found...

Rich Zul's 30' Tempest does run over 100mph with 900-1000HP as reported by many on this forum...

Rob, yes we are all probably a little disappointed that you scrapped the twins but IMO you're make the right call...

If it will throw off the balance, how about putting the tranny in the boat? One would have to be better than the other.

Neither the Speedy #3-5 or a Konrad are rated for 1000HP.
What about the new Imco drive with tranny?

Ok The Stagger Is Out. Understandable. No One Wants To Be First On Something That Who Knows How Its Gpoing To Turn Out. Let Jc Use The Bacari Special For A Test. But How About The Gear Splitter . One Motor 2 Drives ?

Imco needs to update their web-page. Nothing on the new drive or gear splitter...
