Boatally, I bought a used one for my checkmate but I never got the chance to try it yet. I would consider selling. It is an Imco with ears and drive shaft. I also have a bravo with Imco 2" shortie I want to try but may be willing to sell. Let me know if your interested.

Do you think I could possibly benefit from an extension box??


Next question is.. would I have to raise the engine at all??


Thanks,
