Yeah, I'll bet he's testing it for you...

Testing the rev limiter that is! It's a fun boat to drive!

Actually we ordered a set of the new Mercury Racing short gear cases. Should be released anytime soon.

We are spending a fair amount of time testing different props and drives including the Imco lowers.

How short are they? Shaped like Imco or sport master lower?

They were on static display in the Miami Boat Show on one of the Cigarettes.

They were SUPPOSED To be in the water on the back of Andre's boat during the boat show as well, but Mercury was not quite finished with the innards yet.

In fairness to Mercury Racing we knew it was a 50/50 they would be done. They are an upgrade like the sportmasters so if they enhance the performance as expected Andre will get quite a nice little perk for being patient and allowing me to continue testing.

On another note the drive package will retain full warranty which would be voided if we use the Imcos.

I've never tried the sport masters. I would definitely stick with the merc while under warranty. I'm sure they will be good. Im curious how they do getting on plane. The imcos are drastically different when the x dimension is high and sometimes a pain in the ass. However they are faster everywhere and don't need much trim. They run from neutral to 2.5 above meutral. Thats 5.5 on mine, if you are using same indicator. Carries the bow better and transom is settled in nice at any speed. That's an awesome 33 and I'm sure the liner really improved the cabin. Great paint too! Nice job Pat!

Yes, I remember the conversation. But it would have been nice to have shown them off for the plethora go-fast of buyers that passed through.
