Xr drives
Just had my drive done by him just received it yesterday getting ready to pull my other drive off and send it to George to refresh very good company and George is great to deal with don't know if he is making his own gears but I can tell you from experience the high performance boat market is very corrupt and from now on George will do my drives

George is not making his own gears.

Not yet anyway, he is working on it. He has redesigned the upper shaft and bearing which is what causes the gears to go in the first place.

I would agree the biggest issue is the weak shaft. At some point, I would really like to add Whipples to my 525's. Do you guys really think his modded parts will hold up to 750 hp in a 37' boat? As of now, I'm planning on upgrading my uppers to SCXs when the time comes.

Ive got XR's behind 525's with Whipples in a 353 Fastech. Blew one 1 year in on Lake Erie during the Buffalo Poker Run. Had them rebuilt by Performance Marine/Saris Racing 5 years ago and they're still together. Probably 100+ hours on them. I'm convinced they rebuilt them better than factory. Not because the parts are better, but because the tolerances are closer.
You will eventually blow one. However, how you run them means allot. No holeshots, roll on the power and keep the drives in the water and they can last. Change the gear oi
l regularly, look for filings in the oil and repair as needed. Still cheaper and faster than Imco's..

I believe it’s $10k a drive. For that money, I’d be upgrading my uppers to SCXs. What ever George is doing, it is improving the stock Bravo. However, in the end, it’s still a Bravo!
Thank about it, an ssm 5 was only rated for 850 hp. That drive makes a Bravo look like a toy!
