I just had George at AADS rebuild one of my XR's. I was very pleased with the communication and turn around.

Being from the North West, our boating season is very short, I was looking for a shop that could turn it around quickly. Not only did he do what he said he would do, he beat his lead time by a couple of days.

I will definitely be sending both of my drives to him this winter for upgrades.

Thanks for the input has anyone seen the new fin piece Max Machine adds to the back of the cavitation plate?

Gadgets did my std upper and added a the steel tower. Mine wasn't broken, but he set it up the way it should have been from Merc. Very happy with the results. Dick was good with communication. I did it in the off season, so time wasn't an issue as he was busy with drives for racers I believe. Would definitely use him again.

Doug at Mastertech Marine is who builds my bravo drives on my 1000hp single engine warlock but no bravo based drive will last long behind more than 600hp . I got two seasons out of my last drive before the gears were pitting. but Doug builds them right .

SCX or BMAX are pretty much the only drives that will withstand that much HP for any length of time.

may want to talk to "make it rain" about the BMAX. He has two for sale. Went back to XR's because of all the bmax problems over last 5 years. 46 BT with merc 525's.

Don't waste your money on beefing up a Bravo. No matter what they do to it, it's not going to last with 900 hp. I sent you a PM on a new SCX, for the kind of power you are going to run, it's your only option.

just so were all on the same page the boat I'm running it on is very light ! its a 20.5 cougar , so you still don't thin Max Machine or American Drive Service would hold up??? trying to decide between those two right now , ADS offers 2 year warranty which I think is pretty amazing , any input

2600 lbs is what the boat weighs just an FYI
