No drive for Ilmor is the other issue. That would be like putting a bravo style drive mated to the Merc 700's...Just a matter of time..with no piece of mind

BOATS OVER 600'S NEED TRANSMISSIONS...except A.T.s...cause they never break, and the owner is the nicest guy in the world.

We've got a slightly used set of BMAX drives. We are going to give 'dem a shot.

I would jump in here and defend my set up but I'm sure that would cost me at least one drive this summer so I think I will just be a lurker on this one.

Anything between 674 and 676 HP will break sans a transmission. The 7/10 (700HP) will be fine.

Sound like 'rice-burners'?

Out of curiosity, how much is fuel in China?
