If you live locally I have removed them from my boat a few times so that others can TRY them out.

Are these the speedmaster style? I'm running a B1 with a nose cone now. I hardly need any trim to run 90 but it gets a little squirrelly at times and I think a shorter drive will help. I'm an east sider but I'm out your way at least every other week.

I think those velocities have a high X from the builder. If you don't have to trim much then a shortie probably won't help. you might try some different props. My drives are IMCO bravo style.

How much do you want for them?

I should have one for sale next week, whole drive or I'll sell just the lower for the right price

Tinkerer 09-06-2012 08:58 PM

My lowers may be for sale soon.
One of them will be getting rebuilt next week.
I may be buying -3 inch lowers soon.
Putting them on others boats was for free. That and a boat ride.

Thats cool Tinkerer that you do that for people! I think Imco should take note here and offer a test program similar to Bblades test props. If they take money for someone to try out a drive/ shorty lower with a cc for damage deposit, people could try em out and Im sure if they like, they would buy. Would also give them some used/ rebuilt units to sell to people that they would probably never sell to new. Just sayin.
