When an XR drive is not enough, is there any other options other than #6 drives?

Well, when you can tell me that the prop's for an Arneson cost more than the prop's for a Merc, Bravo, #2,3,4,5, NXT, 6 or M8 then you would have a valid point but until then I can't see why you would say this as the same propellers fit the Arnesons that fit the Merc's. Even the IMCO use's the same Speedmaster prop's and no one mentions that.
SCX from what I know you have an option to run a Bravo or SSM prop. So I guess depending on your X dimension a person would chose one or the other?

A lab finish Maximus prop is 1700 bucks per prop. Hering bravo style 1700 each. A bravo 4 blade lab finished is under 1000 per prop. A CNC Merc Cleaver is 5,000-6000 per prop. Same for hering unless you go to the Forged hering, than double that, to around 10-12k per prop. .
The biggest difference is, if you do hit a log on Saturday afternoon, chances are on Sunday morning you can pick up a prop from the local Merc dealer. If you do that with a SSM you better have a spare or know a lot of local friends willing to lend you some high dollar props for the day.
These comparisons don't seem logical.

That be a negative (In a 25' boat) Cryoed, set up by Mr. gadgets, lasted about 20 hrs.
Bravo drive is like a 10 bolt rear end , no matter what magic potion you try in the end the gears are too small .. so you step up to the 12 bolt or 9 inch and go racing. Too bad that step in boating is 100x the price

I wouldn't waste the money on labbed this and labbed that. One soft grounding (we all anchor up at the local sandbars) and they're junk. For the couple MPH you get and loose in cruise speed, I just don't see the value. Over time the labbed props lose their trueness as well.

What is the difference with IMCO's MCX drive vs the SCT that is on my boat. Just curious and this was a very good thread I learned a lot.
