Well, if boost is my end game, then Sportmasters might be a good move because they are basically xr's. I believe they have the same prop shaft and gears. Does anyone know this? So, I could go with the Sportmasters this year in preparation for more power in the coming years. So... I've been told that I am about 2 - 4 mph slower than you, and I've got 470 hp. But idk... that's what people tell me.

the IMCO bottoms have XR lower gears and I think the sport master is the same all have 1.25 shafts......you'll spend the same $$ for comparable Sport master and IMCO lowers

Personally I'd consider buying another boat if your endgame is another 10-20+mph. Add it up - shorties, boost, xr's, then props, and what's the headache worth, etc. You may be better off just buying a good used boat that already runs the speed you want.

Yeah, i'm not looking for 10 - 20. If i do anything with the motors next year, it'll just be freshen up and mild upgrades. I just bought this boat, and it was as fast as i was looking to go. But then again... is any boat fast enough?

I just need enough speed to pass Tim. :lolhit: But by then.. Tim will upgrade and be faster... it'll be cat and mouse for 10 years if i tried to play that game. :duel:

Really?????? That kinda sounds like some kind of excuse. Just saying.....

Thought you were working on a house tonight, not posting on here?????
