Yep...Them B Bmax's
Had to get new transom assy's since mine were 10 years old with corrosion and all.
Rod at Performance Marine in Oshkosh set them up.
I want to thank them big time for pushing them though ASAP.
He spent a lot of time with me and even picked up some wenches when things got busy to get it done.
BTW...there B some IMCO SC's for sale...you pick gear ratio and we will build them for you.

They look great Mark, saw you running south past Chicago during Thunderun, I was on one engine back to Chicago-lock-river---not fun, nothing major, thinking of trailering all the time next year. Nice paint job.

Drives look great. Did you change from the Imco SC to the Bmax's or did you change from Bravos? Was there any performance dif.

Thanks Mark:D

Jeff,
Yeah...did the lock thing on one motor myself a few times, Hope you get it back on the water soon.

Mark,
Went from the IMCO's to these, I was eating up the gears on those fairly quick and needed a solution to a 9700lbs boat with 850SC's.
I liked the IMCO's but they just can't take that much power and weight for very long, not to mention I like to run it hard.
We lost a few mph with the Bmax's but now i can boost the motors up to what I paid for and should "break" even(for lack of a better word)n speed. ;)

Back4More - looks great!

Not sure if the picture shows the angle correctly but I noticed the prop shafts look like they are well below the hull and you have those monster trim tabs. Is a big Vhull that difficult to get on plane or is there a different reason for that set up?

Just curious coming from a cat owner perspective. Noticed recently how far under the hull my buddies prop shafts in his Cig are and it got me thinking.

Thanks!

Those lowers are -2's so they really aren't that low.
As for the tabs...you know, bigger looks better.:p

B Max Maxed Out
 
It seems Rod @ Perf in Oshkosh has the B-Max figured out. Between Rod and his chief drive guy Gary Mizenberg they seem to have a better handle than anyone on that drive.

Good luck.
