X Drive?
 

Saw a boat for sale with x drives. Went to the website and seems like a great upgrade over the Bravo. Also not as parasitic as an IMCO. Anybody know about real world experience
with these drives ?

X power ?

Brain fart. Yep. X Power Drive. They're power handling numbers are impressive. Suppose easy to ask them, but I'm
curious if their cost is equally as impressive. Also maintenance, parts, etc.

I think 30k or so a drive but quite unique . Ck out xpower on youtube .

You here about IMCO's all the time. I want to say $26,000 is the number that sticks in my head for an SCX. I also here of the parasitic
loss with them also. Curious why X Power for a little more wouldn't be a better choice if its faster? It's only money.
:D

The companys in your area you should ck him out . Bill Auberlin I believe .

I had them on my 2009 skater 30 ft 685 hp no issuses 7 years they are pricy but whell wourth it i loved them

Was the maintenance a bigger hassle or more costly than for a Bravo? The reason for all of this is I would like to Whipplize my 525.
I've been reading the pros/cons of Bravo, IMCO, Arneson, etc. Now these guys got my attention like saying "Squirrel" ! Seems, except for cost, like a
reasonable option. Just looking for real world input from people in the know.

When people talk about X drive I always thought they were talking about the Merc X drive as in XZ gears which were the helo cut gears that were faster but less durable than the XR gear that Merc makes. Is this something different? Is this a Merc product ?

-10k from your 26k for the scx, so about half the price of an X drive
