Gear teeth spit off, towers break, caps crack, and on and on.
What kind of power are you running?

As for propping? What does the drive have to do with propping?

That makes no sense whatsoever.
The SCX bullet on the lower is bigger than the hub on the prop, so this creates a cavitating problem. Why do you think all the people that buy one have issues with getting the correct prop?

Never seen Konrad boat out here in LA or Havasu (Im sure there are I just havent seen them)

The imco SC and teague platinum are almost identical and a notch above the stock XR and can hold 600 beans pretty easy.

The Imco SCX is the beefy one. It uses non stock gears- just ordered one last week. Haven heard anything about noise and I know several that own them, I hear it costs power to run more so than a bravo but not objectionable below 900HP. X-dimension doesnt change.

Yes BMax is being bought out and there should be an announcement coming out soon.

The hot setup is to use the SCX upper with the SC lower.
- not the SCX lower-
prop problem solved.

Which guys?
Can you post some links so I can see what they are doing?

I was running 575hp then. Switched to the SCX upper / SC combo now due to 900hp upgrade.

The SCX upper with SC lower can be had for about $13K but you will need to replace the helmet on your transom assembly to mate the SCX to your boat.
