What X gearset would you install in the upper to make the 1.5 work?
Or, are you assuming that you'd just get a 1.5 upper set and then buy a 1 to 1 set for the bottom?

The guy I bought my drive from offered to sell them for that price after I gave him my sob story...
He's probably smart enough to know I would not need more than one. LOL..
I hear ya though! I have friends in the industry and his price is about 200 bucks cheaper than what they could do for me.
And I mow his yard every week for food only!!!

When mine broke it had less than 20 hours on it . I took the lower apart and checked for parts and everything was good. Cleaned it and put it back together. Running Imco lowers so I guess I got lucky as well. It broke 1 tooth and rolled it threw the gear set which pushed the cap off and broke the housing . 1 phone call to Gavin marine & $3200 (at the time, now 4200) later I was good to go. Best of luck Jeff
Thanks!

I thought that was the whole point of going to an XR from a standard Bravo. I went for 5 years with a 468 with around 500 HP in a Hammer. Moved up to a 555 with 610 HP and at the end of the first season had some pretty heavy metal attached to the magnet. I purchased an XR with a -2 Sportmaster and all seemed to be well at the end of the season. Am I doomed to failure as well or is the weight of the boat a factor?

I can't say you will have same problem but I will say you better keep your eye on it.
Cost less to fix if you catch it before it comes apart.

I don't think you can. I never meant to imply that you or someone else can...
