When it goes.....it really goes.....need XR's now
I guess. Why is it that when anyone else blows a drive......they just need a gear set or shaft or something not as major as a complete drive.
So, I guess XR's are the next thing. I remember someone talking about a really nice price on XR's (1:35) with the kits. Does anyone remember
Or even, the person who has XR shaft kits for under $800.00?

Well tell us about it. How fast were you running when the drive went south? What let loose? What drive do (did) you have? Enough questions?
I have been reading that the XZ is holding up better that the XR's. Hope this is true since I have XZ. I know I should not talk but have 92+ hrs & no problem yet.
Had friend this weekend that now has a 3 blade prop instead of 4 blade. He said he was running 90+, then slowed down & that's when he noticed the vibration. When blade left it left deep grove in cavitaton plate but that is only other damage found.

When it went, I was just getting up on plane, and with a cat....it just starts to cavitate....then it hooks.....that's when it happened. Bravo I HP w/LWP (port side) Last Aug...starboard side. Airborne on a rouge wave. Both times took out upper gears, lower shaft twisted, and warped cases.
1:36 gears, run Bravo I 30 Props or 15 X 35 cleavers. I did install 1.25" XR shafts in the lowers about 8 hrs into owning the boat
Now might as well do the entire XR thing. Have not yet looked into XZ's

Enticer,
Your not the only one, my brother took out the upper on our XZ drive last summer. 8 days before going out of warranty
I later found out he had been nailing the stick all the way down to see how fast he could take off
Corrected that problem.
