You take out the driveshaft and carrier, set the box
in the top hole ( which makes it neutral) and use the
IMCO shaft....it's accomplishing the same thing
as an IMCO neutral box, but for a lot more $$$

, extra parts more money, I do know stellings is a lot more than imco to. next month I will be putting in my blower motor and konrad ace package with the xfactor drive going to set it 4'' with the box on paper it should break 100 easy. unless I make a move on a new hull looking at 28 to 32 right now.but it makes more sense to get my baja together no one would buy a boat that needs work now. my buddy can't give his away at 7grand

My boat is up there right now as well I'm hoping he has it done on Monday so I can pick it up.

I would like to have same setup minus the CMI's. I wish i could make it!!

I live in Flushing. Where do you do most of your boating. Higgins lake for me.

Wish you could too Wayne.

But on another note I've nailed down a set of boxes. Now I'm looking for -2 Shorties if anyone has a line on some

My cabin is near Harrison so we hit Higgins alot when we don't want to go real far but with my current work schedule we only go there a few times a year anymore. We also run the Saginaw river and bay,St claire river ,lk Huron,hardy pond,Charlevoix,Mullet,Torch,Burt and lk Michigan.
You must know "Captain Morgan w/27ft procharged fountain" if you run primarily higgins as he keeps his boat there,I did a transmission for one of his vehicles years ago and we both bought identical procharger kits from Wilson's at the same time,Smitty
