For sure the drive will not live as long with 700+HP vs. 600HP. When your ready to bump the power, you may want to plan for a spare drive. I think you can find a good 04 or 05 XR for around 5K. Swapping drives takes less than 1 hour, but waiting for one to be rebuilt in July could really wreck your season... :(
Gary, I have blow up or broken so many things over the years that I have now stockpiled spares for just about everything.
Last year I pieced together a spare Bravo drive. This year I'll be rebuilding my 454 to have a complete spare engine.
We don't have the longest boating season here in the north as you are aware... :rolleyes:

Re: Superboat Speeds ???
 

Pat you have all the possible problems covered..........thats the way to do it. Perhaps the spare drive is the way to go for me, I do know a couple of guys who do keep spare drives..............Once again this sport is all about fun and $$$$$$$$. :evilb:

Re: Superboat Speeds ???
 

A Spare Drive Is OK Gary But What U Gunna Do If U Blow The 600 I Bet It would Take a While To Fix That Sucka

Re: Superboat Speeds ???
 

I'd say the 600 is a lot less likely to blow than the drive.
But if the engine was to blow maybe Gary would buy a new one from JC Perf... :D
