My girlfriend brought her three Boxers with us and they were running around the shop as Eddie and Travis were talking our ears off about boats and dogs, good times!

My brother just bought an SCX for his 26 DCB, doesn't have it installed yet, anxious to see how it works and holds up. It looked like it was working well in the video.

If I had the money, I would be running an SCX upper with the -3 SC lower I have now and also be making about 150 more HP. I would love to wake my boat up like that sometime.

The standered scx will not work with a -3 short SC lower. You have to have IMCO custom make/machine you an upper that will fit the -3 lower. If I was a boat owner who needed to run a -3, I would just order the scx4 and spacer down. I only know this from experience, I just put a SCX on my boat that accommodates the -3SC lower. I should have just ordered the SCX4 with the stronger lower and used a spacer to get back down to a good working X demension.

Here are some pictures of my machined, or really it was a prototype for the SCX4.

The SCX is Worth the money tho, I hated going through drives.

After a lot of time pricing I recently purchased a complete imco scx upper and lower from Shane baker at fibertek and he was by far the cheapest and most knowledgable on this drive upgrade he saved me several thousand dollars over anyone elses advertised price !
