Brain fart. Yep. X Power Drive. They're power handling numbers are impressive. Suppose easy to ask them, but I'm

Saw a boat for sale with x drives. Went to the website and seems like a great upgrade over the Bravo. Also not as parasitic as an IMCO. Anybody know about real world experience
with these drives...

Have to admit it, but the wife can drive the boat as good as, if not better than I can. That is a great sensation because do not even have to ask if she wants to go.
