I dont really know. I bought it from Kpot on OSO. He bought it fresh with another one. He did not use them for his project so I bought it for mine. I is still on the pallet he shipped it to me on.

Imco sc lower? What ratio? By fresh do you mean that it has been rebuilt?

Thanks, -Jason

It is the standard Imco lower that came on the Bmax drives. The ratio is 1.36 is what the previous owner told me. Yes, it has be rebuilt. Send me your email and I will send pics if you are interested.

I'm interested, any idea how much shipping would be to CA?
And is it a direct bolt on replacement for an XR? same steering same transom assembly? Standard length lower?

johnnyboatman 02-07-2012 08:42 PM

should be 130ratio, never had a 136 ratio in a bmax, that ive heard of, they just now came out with 150 ratio.theyre good drives , i sent mine to ron and had him go thru them, and upgrade the shift mech, some had a tendency to be hard to shift. the only reasoh they never took off real well is when they broke you couldnt get parts, and when you did they were way over priced. so if you can pick up spare ones for a good price get one ,then you have very little down time.

I have heard the same about the 1.30 not a 1.36 in the bmax drives. The gentlemen I bought it from told me 1.36 and I have not cracked a bolt on the drive to check it. It is still on the pallet he shipped it to me on!!lol I had good intensions at one time!!lol The upper is about the size of a dam rearend in a 1 ton truck, she is stout. I spoke with Ron about the drives and he said the same, send it to him, let him go thru it and check it out and I simply just never did....planned on it tho. Now Ron is taking the drives to the next level from what I understand and doing an outstanding job.

It is a good looking unit thanks, looks about new!!lol The u-joints look brand new.

It also has the dual wing plate on the drive, which I believe is about $500+/- from Bmax.
