My dealer up here swears by the B-max. It's the only one with a 5" gear. Of course, it's that gear that slows it down. You realize that you are exceeding the capacity of the gimble assembly with that power. You should really be considering a speed master.

the imco is not going to handle 1000 hp, unless you baby it. the foot will be the weak link, the imco vert shaft is a torsion shaft that will flex a little instead of snaping, bmax upper with a imco foot?

So which foot is the weak link? Stock? IMCO?
So the best would be the B-max upper and the IMCO lower?
Did I read that Bravo Shop has a new lower or is it mercruisers?
