And it will look like the drive in this previously posted pic.
Thank you for calling them! Myself and many of my friends have called over the past few months without any luck.

How does it feel to be wrong when you were so cocky about being right! LOL

Arneson cheerleading or any bravo bolt on surface drive excited me!

What is the height range for the lower bullet above/below the hull in inches to be considered a surfacing application using a standard transom assembly (no extension boxes)? These things could be the simple (albeit expensive) answer to a lot of guys prayers.

Yes, it's going to be killer. Higher X dimensions, larger dia. #6 props. Less drive in the water, more prop in. Faster boats, less broken props. I want two. Just gotta cough up 30k +.

WOW! FACEBOOK has all the good info! Funny chit. Thanks for posting.

Dan...yes you need a pair of them! Looking forward to a ride in your fountain once installed! Not sure if it can top the ride you gave Kristy and I in the saber at the TC Bay blast poker run though!

Too bad the -2" lower wasn't redesigned either.
Really want the drive as I can't afford 5k+ a prop, but still want the reliability of using an SXC lower.

Man now I think I will wait and look at this drive big time. How much for a #6 prop? And just wounder so getting on plane will be better with number 6. My set up now is a imco 1.35gear lower -2 and a bravo one 35". Just to ask....... What would get up better my setup now or this new drive with a number 6?

Thank u
