IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I've been seriously considering purchasing two of these and have also noticed several others OSO'ers that are considering too.

I'm looking to buy 2 - 2" cases and 2 short vertical shafts and for the right price I might follow through.

I've found the best prices so far at CP Performance.

Fred can you get these? :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I'd be interested.

I called imco last week, their quote was
$2,042, I asked if ther was any "deals"
for two, they said no.

I can't remember if the $2,042 gets the vertical
shaft too.


What about Max Worx short lowers ?
Any info on those ?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I would imagine the vertical shaft is extra. I don't know anything about Max Worx.

$1895 at Cp all ready beats going directly through IMCO. Now all we need is to get a bunch ordered for an even better price.

I would love to get the polished look, but probably a lot more.

Fred? :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Now we're talkin. I'm ready too!

Come on guys, this is your chance to actually grab a set of these and get r' done... :D I can't believe I just said that... :eek:

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Anyone have any idea approx how much more to get the shiny ones? The ones you can see your reflection in... :D Ok, how about polished? :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I think its about $200 for those I can't think right now pats are loosing to much beeeeeeeerrrrr arrrhhh extra I think or painted black

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I'm interested if the price is right - empty cases & shafts

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Sounds like the vertical shaft is included after reading the other posts? That's good news. I expected to pay extra for those, now I can get my shiny ones. :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Don, stupid question #1

Do I just take the lower gears/guts from my Xr's and put them in the case ??

#2 I heard something about the polished versions sticking to the water, have you heard that ??

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I may be interested but before committing I'm going to call Max worx as their billet lower is supposed to have a double lower vert shaft bearing that helps to eliminate shaft/gear flex and failure. I have a feeling though they are probably another grand more,I'm a dealer for them though and planned on getting something by spring so I'll call tomorrow and find out the price and post,Smitty

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Have whoever is handling the group purchase give me a call. I haven't seen anything posted that I can't beat on a group purchase. ;)

Fred

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Fred

can you answer my questions on post 12 above ??

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

That is correct.

I have not heard that about the polished version, has anyone else?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

No need for a group purchase, this is my everyday advertised price so if you are ready to buy you can go to:

http://www.tpmarine.com/index.asp?Pa...OD&ProdID=1166

Make sure that you enter the coupon code to receive the $1,799 price. BTW, shipping should be calculated at no more than $25 anywhere in the U.S., but if it is more for any reason I will adjust the price before I charge your credit card.

You can specify length and finish preference on the order page.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Don's answered most of your questions.

Polished lowers have been discussed several times over the years here on OSO. The consensus has been that the polished lower is in fact stickier and the satin most likely the fastest.

I've never seen any empirical data to support that but judging by past discussions, imagine it's true.

I've also seen some spots of discoloration on the polished IMCO lowers. Places where the polished metal has a slightly lighter or darker shade to it. I'm told these are areas where metal has been added after the initial casting process to address perocity issues. That's another reason I don't care for the polished version.

Call if we can hook you up with 1 or 100 lowers at the BEST pricing ;)

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

These will be going on my 28 TD Daytona with no boxes and current prop shafts @ 1/2 to 1" above lowest point on sponsons. Does anyone know if I would have planing issues by going up 2" from my current location if I'm all ready running Hydro P5X's (5 blades). I really don't want to add a tunnel tab.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I may be interested in a pair.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I'm in for 1" satin finish.Who's doing the deal?Where do we send the $ ?BOB

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Next round of stupid questions:

1. What if it turns out that 2" is too high and need to add a 1"
spacer, what else then needs to be changed

2. How much "should" a shop charge to take my XR gears out
and lowers off and put everthing back into the new shortie
case and back on to an upper ?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

1. You'd have to get a 1" longer vertical shaft.

2. By the hour... :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Bob- I'm going to make a few calls tomorrow to get this group buy together. I haven't done a group purchase before, but would imagine it's based on commitment. The more guys with their credit cards on the table, the better the price.

Probably set a deadline date when everybody's order needs placed and paid for and then the order goes in.

How am I doing so far? :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

How much for the vertical shaft and are there some on th market that are better than others for reasonable prices ???

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I would think a few hundred, I might be off. Not sure what else is out there, I'd just stick with IMCO, make it easy. Then you could just re-sell the other shaft(s) in case you had to go this route.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

The spacers I've seen come with a longer
connecting coupler, ( what connects the upper
shaft to the lower shaft) to take up the difference
the spacer adds, so no need for a longer shaft.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

And there you have it, that's even easier... :D

JaayTeee you still in?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

That's correct. If you need to add a spacer, you won't need to purchase a new vertical shaft. Just keep in mind that drive spacers are fairly pricey themselves.

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I wonder why "Trick" marine doesnt make these ? {Hint Hint} :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Like these?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Yes, I'm still in :D

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Exactly!

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

What's up with that discoloration? What's the cause?

I'd like to get the shiny ones, but what, they're slower or something? Why would that be?

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

Does it fall under the samp principal as do not wax bottom of boat? :rolleyes:

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

See post 18 for your remedial reading assignment. :drink:

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

OK, discoloration understood sir... :D

BUT, what's the stickyness business? :rolleyes:

Like 2 mph slower than satin sticky... :eek:

Re: IMCO 2" shorties group purchase? Anyone interested?
 

I am in for (2), just need to figure out 1" or 2", probably better to go 2" and space down 1" ?? How much each are the spacers??

I would love to go Polished, but since I am doing this to p/u speed, I can't see going polished if they are actually slower/stickier than the satin :mad:
