CAN I GET THE PAINT CODE FOR THE BROWN STRIPE ON THE HULL :D :evilb:

YOU KNOW SOMEONE WOULD SAY IT.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Color code is chitbrownsmithmountainlakesince it rained 5" last week. :D

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Nice!!! Did you go with shorties?

I've been running BMax HT's behind 720hp/760 ftlb blower motors in my 36' Apache since April.

Very happy so far! :cool:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

No went with standard length.525efis with whipples.hp not sure but told around 780-820hp.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Cool!

This time last year I already blew an IMCO Extreme SC, the second one blew Labor day weekend. :(

I'm running the boat harder and have more hours than last year. For the 1 MPH I lost on top end it was well worth it! And with a warranty to boot! :cool:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

You suck , Those are suppose to be mine :D Hopefully my set is on the way :eek: Iam ready to turn the boost uppppppp

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Hey Rich how ruff is the lowers ,I am going to try to polish my lowers :rolleyes:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

That will be alot of rubbing to get them like the whipples.they do have a good little already.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Docman,

I put bushings in the steering plate when I put mine together so the aluminum wouldn't wear out, just a thought.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

I was thinking the samething today when we installed the tie bar and rams.finished the install today and will be water testing in the am.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

DAYUM! That was harsh!!! :D :D :D
:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Hey clean those tail pipes :drink:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Havn't had time but i will today after i run the piss out of it. :D

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

I know the feeling. I blew my Imco Extreme SC on fourth of July weekend. 30 hours of easy use behind 850hp.

What is the warrenty with the BMAx drive?? How much HP and Torque will they hold?

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Titan on the HT bmax the warrenty is 1 yr and you can buy another 2 yrs on top of that.950 hp and 950 lbs of torgue.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Will the Bmax bolt directly to my Imco Box? And Is the steering the same also? What is the price of the Bmax drive? Thanks for the help...

Here is my current set up...

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

I don't see why it wouldn't bolt up to the box. The only concern I can see is the steering rams. The upper on the BMax is wider so it can house the 5" upper gears (XR's are 3"). I would just give Dean a call and tell him what ya have and send him some pics.

Sorry to hear about the drive. :(

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Rich,
Motors running ok?

Are you practicing what Tres taught? It works!!! :eek: Imagine that. :cool:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Bmax will bolt right up but you have too do something with your steering rams.I would call Dean at the bravo shop and check with him on install on single engine and price.239-454-6593

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Motors are running better just have to fine tune the ecus alittle more.i have been doing the Tres Martin thing.What differance with the bmax lowers in the turns.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Hey Strip,

Did you cut the skegs down any? Got my b-maxes monday. Missing a couple of bolts, dean is overnighting them for me. Looks like a good bit of polishing on the lowers, I have enough of that under the hatch, don't need anymore. Salt water will eat the polishing job up quickly. Will be in the water tomorrow, finally :evilb: Just finished installing strainers and flushes. What a pain in the a__!!

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

I havent got mine yet :( I guess I am last on the list,he's treating me like a stepchild :D I thought Dean put your drives on for you???

Take some picks!!!!!

Rob :drink:

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Rich that lower casting looks differant from the first design , the cav plate???

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Rob, I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't have the lower cavitation plate like mine do.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

It looks like a Imco plate. Also almost like the back of the new merc's Ace drive???

Also the bottom has some longer looking studds???

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

When I first saw the pic I thought it was a sport master lower or a shortie because of the cav. plate.

Must be a new design? Mine looks like this one.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Well, how are you making out with the new drives???

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

I traded my old ones in in Febuirary. He has sold them. I am still waiting .Every week they say next week.But I have loaners atleast I guess.

So I am pretty f*cking happy :drink: :drink:

Rob :(

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

Been testing mine and the best i'm getting with the 1.30 drives is 90 mph.I ran 1.50 and got to 100 mph.I WANT MY 10 MPH BACK.Strip i'll sell you my bmaxs.Might go back to 1.50 so i'll need 2 sets of xr's.Still waiting on Dean to find some info on why i lost 10 mph.arm is tired of holding the phone to my ear waiting on him to get back to me.

Re: Xmas in July.Strip
 

10 Definetely seems high... A number of years ago I worked on a 42 tripple engine fountain. We switched from 1.50 to 1.36 and lost about 6-8 mph.

It seems every boat is differnet. :(

Were you blowing up the XR's before?
