    The drive only weighs 85lbs vers. 180lbs, it takes 15% less Hp to turn it and is more hydrodanamic threw the water. You can raise your X demension up to 4 1/2 inches direct bolt on with no mods. It's alot faster then the bravo. The internals are nothing of a Alpha any more.Its a spesific built drive for the smaller boats running big HP.

    Your not Rude and that's the reaction people have until they run one, once they do they don't want to go back to anything else. The only drive you mentioned that is rock solid is the TRS but that is aprox 150lbs more and is alot slower and takes aprox 25% more HP to turn and the hydra dynamics are terible.

    Not re-inventing, just making something alot better and it's a spesific built for 24 and less foot boats. You would not put one of these drives say on a 26 foot boat or larger. Here is somthing that people may not have thought about, if that drive is living at 650+ HP what could he get a Bravo to hold up to?

    How does the warranty read? How many total hours of "continuous" test time running, were they tested to?

    I finally took the time to read through the tests, indeed he put a bunch of time into this deal. He seems to qualify the conditions and application for this unit.
