OK, The drives are finally installed. Had to custom make steering plates to replace the latham plates originally on the boat. They would not touch it. Shortened the tie bar and everything looks good. Next comes the water test.

Why they ever put XR's behind 600 SCi's was always a comical joke to me. Heck the 525 is already a mystery... Then the 600 and its torque curve - they had to be kidding.

Another bend over and take it situation. Thanks Mercury. You'd think by now, they'd friggin STOP offering the Bravo XR on anything but a black engine.

Nice work. Let us know how they turn out.

Yeah, Teague/Amsoil boat figured it out.

525 and #6's

That probably works pretty well! LOL

how many blades on the props?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]501255[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]501256[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]501257[/ATTACH]Got my SCXs mounted

And a couple more upgrades- O and don't forget the extra Hundie Ponies!!

Wow Quinlan, that looks awesome! I thought my bilge was going to look really nice until I saw yours.

Mark runs 5 blades with 600 SCI.

looks like Im in the same position accept with a single engine cat. I just granaded a Mercury XR. Im running around 850 hp on a 26 foot Eliminator Daytona. Thinking about The SCX myself. Should i run a SC lower or a SCX lower? And if I run SCX what kinda loss in drag should I expect? Running 110mph now. And tell me about blue printing Drive? Lower I assume?
