![Question](/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
How much horsepower and torque is an IMCO Extreme SC drive rated for? I know IMCO did some extensive testing and they rated it so many horsepower/torque per weight of the boat for each drive.
Anyone have those figures? I think it was something like 800hp and 740ftlbs of torque with a 5600lbs boat, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Mark/KAAMA

Kaama,
We rate our SC Drive by Torque to weight ratio! 800ft lbs of torque with the weight of your boat is fine.
We would like to see you shift under 800 rpm's.
As far as the statement that Brad refered to, I we can assure you, that we are here to help if there was a problem!.

Thanks for the responses. I am also checking for my friends boat. He has a 37'7" Wellcraft flat deck "KAAMA SE" with a pair of 509" super charged engines that make 780ftlbs of torque and about 750hp. His boat is made out of Kevlar and weighs about 9500lbs with full tanks.

One more note: If you use a mechanical speedo, you will loose the pick up in the drive when switching to IMCO. they use the speedo port for top cap cooling. You will either have to install a Gps Speedo or go for an external mounted peto tube.
