Default Imco Extension Box

Anyone have a decent used straight Imco box they want to sell? Know anyone with one?

I think they were, but they're also sold. Bummer... The search continues! The ones that are like 5 miles from me are 3" offset. Which would put my prop shaft over the swim platform, I think...

Do these boats actually benefit from extension boxes? I have heard multiple answers, but I don't think I've ever heard or seen real world results.

I've heard it doesn't matter, but the only full pleasure, single motor 28 that even claims to run over 90 has one. I'll let you know...

Spending like a drunken sailor on leave... Bouyhunter Tim suggested I was trying to get my wife to divorce me, but I'm upping my game and we'll see if I can get her to shoot me instead!

Heck I just bought a diesel, crew cab, F250 last weekend!

My boat gets on plane faster and I feel the handling benefited from the box. Mine is an 8" set back.

I don't know if it contributed to the boat rolling on the port side and scrubbing speed or not though. I will testing that theory next summer I hope.

I will be interested to see how it effects others. Hopefully positive.

Kirk that's right! I forgot you had the box on your boat too. I think Bruce had one on his race boat (Stellings) and broke drives like crazy, but that may be a function of the fact that the Stellings box eliminates the merc coupler and runs a hard mounted drive shaft.

I figure the boxes look bad-ass and it's not like its going to make the boat any slower...
