Lots of info in that thread

I read that this morning. Oh my. $35,000
a drive. The boat I'm looking at has badazz looking twins. I'll have to hire security to just watch the boat. Sure seem to be the schizz tho...
I like the fact that they're rare and unique.
Anybody can own an IMCO...
(thought I might liven things up)

I tried to call xpower and buy some drives about 14-16 months ago and couldn't get anywhere.

I'm running the SCX's with 1400 BP lowers with 6 shafts. I ran the same setup with a 1.3 gear and XR prop shafts before. IMCO's service is crazy. They rebuilt a drive for me in 3 days.

No argument from me on IMCO's service.
I boat at Lake Mead and had a steering ram of theirs spring a leak. Took it to them locally and they just handed me a new one, no charge. Probably just to get rid of my ugly face. You are running way more power than most no doubt. But you have had at least one of your drives rebuilt in less than 2 years? Including installation, rebuild, etc., how much do you have invested in your IMCO's?

I do all my own work. I have a mega lift and a shop at my house. So labor is free.

I have 4 each SXC's with 1400 lowers. 1.5 gear with #6 prop shaft and 1.3 gear with XR shaft. I like to do a lot of setup testing. So about 60 in drives.

I broke one running offshore for 47 miles. I was running very hard working the throttles. When I got it on the trailer I spun one prop and it was crunchy. IMCO rebuilt it fast.

This is my boat http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...ng-o68700.html

Always wondered what heaven looked like.....well done and more than a nice badazz ride. That info helps a lot. With what you have invested you're still cheaper than two X Powers. Plus there's no price on IMCO's service. If I get a plane ticket, beer, fuel and general all around swabbie ....
maybe a ride someday?

I noticed a Tarrant County area code in the phone number. Surely you are not running your boat in the DFW area lakes - that would be hard to unleash that in the area ponds. You live in Tarrant County ?

Hey BUP. Opinions are like a..holes. Everyone has one. But that X Power might be the bombproof drive for your
LaveyCraft .

You can have a ride whenever you want man........

BUP, yes I'm in Tarrant County. I have a place at Lake Texoma and Lake Travis. Plenty of big fast boats on both. I also do the FPC runs and go to Kemah a lot.
