$20K in drives....IMCO's response was, "Sorry but there is nothing we can do. But, we can rebuild it for you"

Then I priced a new upper, $6500 from them direct. Called up someone I know and wound up getting it for $5700 thru another dealer.

I sold them the following winter and moved to the BMax and in two trouble free seasons on the Ocean I can say I'm happy that I made the swap.
