Thanks for the info guys, I've got some calls to make this week. Keep the recommendations coming if you have any.
Right now I've got bravo one uppers and I've actually had pretty good luck with them overall. I just built a set of fresh motors and want to upgrade to the XR uppers. I already have fresh XR lowers but wouldn't mind a set of shorties if I could find a good price on those as well.

Rich,
As I recall you had 500's in your 37. I don't know if you have bumped the hp up with the new engines you've had built, but if so I would strongly consider upgrading to the IMCO SCX uppers as mentioned above. Not only are they MUCH stronger, but they will help with resale as well. In fact regardless if you're adding more power or not, if you're spending the $, get the SCX uppers rather than wasting it on those garbage XR's. Just my 2 cents...
BTW, I have a few more trips planned for coming back down there over the next few months (including the PR and a run over to Bimini) so lets stay in touch...

I bought an XR from Gavin but they had not done the input brg preload nut fix and the nut backed out and took out the drive after 3 seasons so be aware that you need to fix that issue. Victory opens them up and hard shims the input bearings. Both companies are good but be sure that nut is at least loc-tited and preferably hard shimmed.
