what drive should i buy
 

looking at buying a new drive before engine build IMCO ,B MAX or? it's going to be on a 2001 Velocity 280 with a 500 and will be placing a pro charger on it .

Welcome to my world. Except it will be 2X for me. I looked at the B-Max a week or so back. They are impressive looking. They are also local to me also. After the sale service means a lot........I just know that I am through with XR's.

Almost a no - brainer , look at Imco , SCX and SCX-4 ! A company that's been around a while and has a lot of options and various
combinations to put together a drive for a lot of different boats .

IMCO SCX not the -4

Following this thread......What are my options with ITS? I know with IMCO drives you need to replace the helmet, but what about the input shaft? Does IMCO make ITS ready drives? I was considering sending my drive to this place http://www.allamericandriveservice.c...rformance.html Any comments on that?

AADS, DPM "Mr. Gadgets", Max Machine Works, The Bravo shop all can upgrade a bravo drive but none of them can compare to a SCX especially for bang for the buck.

Bmax has a decent upper but the lower is just an upgraded XR

Obviously Arneson and X-Power make incredible products also!

Dave,
you can get the SCX setup for ITS with the longer input shaft. There is also an ITS helmet that mounts a sensor, but it will not work with the Imco Gimbal ring, just the Merc ring.
Hope that helps.

So in order to put a SCX or SCX4 on a Merc ITS you only need the Imco helmet along with the drive correct? Same as putting one on a standard Merc transom assembly?

I have a complete imco sct drive package from drive coupler to drive silver powder coated on the classified section all for $22,000.00

New drive res bottles too. And plan on being pretty much Bullet proof!

I put a Bmax on my 28 Nordic this year, nothing but good things to say about it. John's service and support after the fact is second to none. There are numerous reasons why I chose this route vs SCX, it's working great for me- I run the bmax upper and imco lower.

SCX!!! Hands down the best. Oh and I've got a pair with reservoirs and transoms for sale If your interested.

Call me please transoms 252 three three three 5898. thanks

Im getting ready to put SCX's on my boat......6 XRs later!!!!
