W C marine , what kind of results can you get from working over a sportmaster lower vs going to a imco s c lower , right now my shaft height is about 1 inch above the bottom of the hull on a 42 fountain .

575cat, They are both very good drives. We have blueprinted many of them but I would say more Sport Masters, simply because all the Super V boats and Super Cat lites that used them a few years back on the racing circuits.
We found ( a few years ago ) that the Sport Master had a better finished casting than the other.
We can do a lot of work on them. Are you looking to replace the Sport masters with Imcos??

As far as performance difference, a WCM blueprinted Sport master will be better than a standard Imco.

This is a great video that shows youjust how much water the drives still see even at high speeds.
