Mike, congrats on the new boat !!!!!!! Why crash boxes?? with only 1000 hp engines you could use a set of Huber's 1450 trannys, and it'll be ALOT easier to dock, and save your starters.

Call Johnny at TNT for your #6 needs.

I will never go back to transmissions with big power and rough water. I have smoked three prior to going to crashboxes. I really don't have docking issues with crashboxes. For Poker Runs they are perfect. For a pleasure boat on the Chain they could be a pain in and out of docks, etc. Mike has a backup Fountain for cruising.

Transmissions break thay say crash boxis are the best way to go.
I went with 1000 sc for the price I paid for them. I have some money for the #6 driver in a few years I will go bigger with the motors.
