XS Performance Marine??
Is this company still around? I was researching hydraulic steering and came across some old threads about this company. I guess the member names were Maxx and Alfster. They havent posted in a number of years and was wondering what the deal is with their steering systems. I'm looking for a cheap add-on hydraulic ram. So far best price i've seen is $1295. Anyone know of any cheaper? I keep losing auctions on ebay for used rams. Last one went for $10 more than my bid price.

I've been talking to Brian Alfrey about the internal kit for my boat, but he is pretty hard to get a hold of. I'm not sure if he's making mine or not right now! I've tried to call him over the last week with no response.

Pat gets a good deal on that stuff, but i've already spent way more on the boat this year than i had budgeted, (wasn't expecting to have to build a new engine) so now i'm trying to do as little as possible to get by this year. Thats why i'm hoping to get something cheap.
By the way, last i talked to him we're planning on a test run tomorrow afternoon.

Great stuff, I just installed my XS system this past few weeks. Very high quality, very low price. Full system from helm to rams for a singe bravo set me back $2800. Now you do have to wait several weeks to get all the parts, and he's hard to get a hold of. Forget emails- the phone number above works best.
Pictures of my install are here:
