How much can be put to an xr
Hello All!!!
just looking for realistic rough idea breaking point. I do not want to get into everyone's "well if you bring it up easy and or keep the drive in the water" bla bla bla. I am a pleasure boater and i do not care to beat on my boat or myself. What is the good bad and ugly growing pains to putting power to an xr. I have a single 29 fountain, im having an xr rebuilt but dont want to thow it on if its going to scatter it. would rather sell it and go to an SCX if I am a ways from it holding together.
Thanks
Matt

Go IMCO unless you like rebuilding drives...that's my opinion...no matter how you drive it I don't think it will live with that power/torque...others may chime in but that's my opinion

At that HP level it may break just bolting it up to the bell housing.

I broke mine with 770 hp, and by no means did I ever beat on it.
