No that is what Steve Tripp, owner of Revolution Performance Marine has in his boat, 565ci 675hp boat ran 107mph:drink:

NICE,,,lots of room to work on the engine !!

Hey you never did tell me how you liked your classic offshore video "Run Sunward", hoped you enjoyed, I know that I enjoyed mine:drink:

How does he like that sproal motor?

Do you know mark at precision marine?

Steve is happy with his engine, very strong and no leaks:eek:the only problem he had was a dist. gear broke, it was teflon went back with a bronze no other problems. I have spoken to Mark @ Precision, great guy, ever since the whole Gary Taylor ordeal,:eek: PM will be my motor shop from here on out

He has a stainlees steel gimbal ring that bolts on the bravo

IMO Ilmors new drive is going to overshadow the Xpower's debut for several reasons. Not saying the Xpower won't be a quality piece but Ilmor's engineering & resources, reputation, financial backing (Roger Penske) , marketing capabilities, warranty and service etc will be tough to beat. Boat manufacturers are already ordering the drives due to ship in June & it's a warranteed package. Drives only available for retrofits later this year.

Not trying to hijack just a point of interest.

If they make that Ilmor Indy in a Bravo conversion with the trans in an extension box so motors stay in the same location....they will have the market.

Ask & you shall receive. To my knowledge the Ilmor Indy will retrofit a bravo, NXT or #6 w/o moving the engine. I'm sure there are few one off rig jobs that won't fall into those parameters but based on the research thats been done to date they are feeling very confident about their packaging.

Did he tell you how much? Is he using a stock Gimbal ring?
