I thought you said it wasnt about the money

Man I am with You!! I coulda had ASDs and Lots of Beer money if I would have done it long ago and about 8 sets of XRs ago.
But hey whoever said us Power Boaters are the smartest SOBs anyway.

I lied...

It's never to late

Looking forward to this transformation!!!

Thanks for everybody's input....

Thanks Jeff.... Order has been placed by my mechanic and Imco has told him they are going to ship this week!!
Went with the SCX Uppers and Lowers, that way if the wipples find there way to the top of those 525's we will be all good.

Have gone through, MMW all Billet, cost 16,000 spent 10,000 fixing it BMax clutch shaft blew up, SCX/SC upper held up but lower let go only once, so getting better the new SCX-4 is by far the best I have run on my cat, have 60hrs on it from this summer, no issues at all, I am running the #6 setup, no spacer, what you Bravo guys have to realize a "Surface" drive is just what it means, therefore the X dim changes I ran a 2" shorty with a half" spacer the -4 runs the same, the boat runs so much better with the -4 boat with the MMW which was the fastest of the previous Bravo Drives topped out @ 132 in cool weather, low on fuel, and perfect water conditions, now it will run that full of fuel, 4 people and loaded down I ran the boat up to 135mph with 2 of us and coolers about 50gal of fuel during Desert Storm this year, but it was only 105deg I honestly think that IMCO, has finally found the economical way to have a reliable surface drive, and not be in the Mercury #6 price range...

Looks like 2 inch higher x is about 2-3 mph.. That seems right.. However Desert storm havasu was about 75-80 degrees this year in april
