i think he's refering to a #6 or b-max or something similar imco xtreme a guess

Actually, I keep wishing some other manufacturer would get into the game. Not a remake of the Bravo, but what if something like the old OMC King Cobra came back? I realize that may be a far away dream, but why not leave it open just in case?

They are both good drives but it still leave questions as to witch drive is faster than the other. Merc. makes a solid XR drive and it should be a reliable choice for a drive. Merc has a truck at all Pro series races and has parts if needed. I have never seen IMCO or B-Max at a race as racers suppot. Have you?

I agree, an all he F1 guys already have XR's and there are plenty out there to buy... If we start bring in 2 or 3 diferent drives into the picture how are you going to compare exacted speeds even with my XZ I was 1 an a half faster, just did'nt have the reliablity in rough water, and would another manufacture atttend and support us and the APBA.

Gordo,
Keep in mind we are talking Factory racing here, one drive, one engine, various boat manufacturer's. This will either advance one's boat or make them go to school and build a faster boat, yet remain within a price that make it affordable. If you want a bunch of options as to drives, motors, etc. If each class has a spokesman, and they communicate, they make thier own destiny for their class.

Well, it seems the "one engine" part is already out of the window, and there's a lot of confusion. There really is no need for another drive. Since there is no new drive vying for the job, I thinlk we can put this issue to rest.

I have made contact with APBA (Mike A.) and he is totaly in favor of our input. This is our class and they do want to here from us on ideas. I have not gotten all the F1 teams info yet so please fax it to me. I will be sending out a questioneer via fax so I need your #'s
Does anyone have the capability of seting up a confrance call?
