Offshoreonly.com - Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K

Pat I spoke with JC to perhaps get a mini 6 ( if thats the name ) NO NO NO package deal for the 700 only. ( that sucks ). Nothing on the bump to 700 from the 600, but there both 502's so I'm sure the up grade will be out soon. If I can get 700 hp and still play around with props, perhaps 90 ??? You know the deal..................DEEP POCKETS = SPEED :eek:

Gary,
You and I have talked about this before.
If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for a good deal on another XR. Then turn up the boost to 700-800HP at the appropriate time. Then if your drive blows, and it will sooner or later, it's a quick swap.
Even at 7K each for 2 more XR drives you'll still be way ahead of the game compared to repowering with the new drive.
IMO just play with props for another year, your boat is awesome the way she is... :drink:

Pat thats exactly what Typhoon Perf. Marine ( Chuck, Master Tech, ) had suggested to do :D Mid summer he showed me a rack of XR's for his clients who kept spare drives. On guy had 3 spare XR's................he also had a tripple 525 42' OL......................As I said DEEP POCKETS.

Thanks Pat, I knew they were around $$ 7500, not bad I guess for " that piece of mind ". Perhaps a low hour used ( not abused ) drive may be another choice for half the price.

You could also try a BILLET DRive. They are supposed to be the step ahead of the XR.
