i ran my old F2 38 T/S Gun w/ +700HP mated to IMCO Extreme Advantage SC's and never had a hint of a problem.....then again, the boat only weighed approximately 8,200lbs. taking off, exiting and reentry are the hardest on the drives.....

Thanks for that info guys. The dealer said the new mercs should be here as early as the Lauderdale show. I think I'll wait till there available.

Pulse... Have had mine for 2 years. Drive maintainence = rinse with fresh water after the boat comes out. I do not throttle, ever, even in 6 footers at 60.

Glad to hear you are happy with the Pulse drive system. I had followed the conversion of Zero Cavity an '88 Top Gun and later heard that is was converted back to Speedmaster III drives.
Did they not work on the Top Gun?
Why did they put speedmasters back on the boat?
