well its done as i posted with the extension box.
It was a long painfull process. but i finished it just in time to put it away for the winter
The drive i bought which was built by MR GADGET is sweat, the hole cooling , and filtering the drive oil is a great idea. the drive has a nice sound to it also.
I spend $22,000.00 on this project, some of it i needed, most of it i didnt.
all braided line and AN fittings, aluminum floors, aeromotive fuel system, twin chrome coolers coolind the engine oil, drive oil, power steering, and fuel. New twin ram full hydraulic steering, billet battery boxes, billet drive resivoir, new carpet, new drive, IMCO SC extreme transom essembly, 2" IMCO shorty, HP coupler,
and alot of bloody knuckles.
But in th end it looks very nice and I'll be hard pressed to break the drive or transom essembly.
The drive is good for 1400 HP and I'm far far from that.
Any way its been fun, painful, expensive, and expensive.
hope all is well with the OSO's
Keeeeeper tight, keeeeper clean, and the quest for speed will always be my #1 need.
I'll post some pics of the completion.

can you tell us what x box you went with the 3'' or stock height and did you run the boat, I was thinking of getting one since I posted last yr that the 2'' shortie will give you 4 to 6mph ,I was hoping you could tell us what you got with the 525hp gps speeds compared to my 670hp gps speeds so if got more with the ex box then others will know so please post, thanks art.
ps you don't want to know what I spent over the last 15yrs on more speed art
