Superbabi

TeamSaris

That looks like a #3 to me.

700hp in this boat can go w/ an Imco extreme SC, but won't hit that 100 mark, so the drive is worthless.

From what I found your options are as follows:

1) ssm 3a
2) Konrad
3) IMCO 1000
4) Max Machine
5) B-max

The 3a will be a problem to fit with the tranny unless someone is making an extension box that will fit the trans? The Imco seems to have a 50/50 approval rating with the guys who have used them. I have no idea about the B-max. The Konrad is said to be good to a 1000hp, anyone run one up there yet? I personally talked to MMW and they said 1000hp is doable but the merc gears are the weak link and there gears aren't out yet.
As for HP for 100 you need 860hp using Fasters numbers for reference. I bet if you dialed everything in and found the right prop, right lower, right over all X then you could hit 100 w/ 800hp. But for the money a 800 cost you can have 900 or a 1000 just as easy and not be worried your short on power.

Rob What You Are Building I Would Put The Bravo XRs And Gimbels Your Gunna Have Small Blocks And Its A Light Boat You Wont Break Any Drives

You wont break an XR with 500 hp unless your leapin in and out of the water like a race boat. Showtime had 525s and they were poppin drives left and right but you should be fine.
