Rick, for which Boat Show?

Gary the motor sounds like a plan but did you ever figure out what your doing for a drive ?

Mike, the upper failed with 3 hours last year, did a total rebuild and beat the snot out of the drive for the next 60 hours with 15 hour drive fluid changes. The drive is off the boat for the winter, I will do another rebuild perhaps with some up graded internal parts. I like the SCX ( easy direct bolt on ) but not enough units out there to make a choice. The A surface drive would real nice and strong, but what if it does not work on the Y2K hull, big $$$ and a big loss. The Konrad is more than likely the way to go, but without being a direct replacement for the XR i'm not going to pull the triger. At this point the XR looks like my best choice for the $$ lay out. So I would like to pick up a low hour XR or a new drive as a spare if a deal can be had. I really wish was the boat/motor/drive was my only expence, the possibilites would be endless !!!!

We installed a set of the new Imcos on a 35 Fountain with 750 a side. Runs hard with 0 issues, dont have to worry when it comes into boost now too

Johnny, two questions, did the X- Dim. stay the same ?? And was there any speed loss with the SCX ??

No, even with the Spacers we had to go up one inch. Its hard to say about the speed becasue It wasnt fully dialed in before the swap, and then we went up an inch. So it probably stayed about the same.

Gary still in the hunt for a drive ? I read that Konrad has come out with a twin prop. Its the Konrad 560. I bet that would make your boat rock . Who has the Y2K with the Konrad and the 800 ? That would be a good comparison. Just bolt it on and compare. Ever aspect of the boat would get better with twin props !!

There is a konrad 540 in the swap section on here for $15000
not a bad deal.

Mike, the Konrad/800 Y2K is still at Superboat Rigging shop. I believe thats Robs boat. Is the Konrad a direct bolt on replacement for the XR ???

The konrad was designed to be used w/a tranny.
So you'd have to get the ACE package, which is basically an extension box w/ steering to house the trans.
