    We will make it better. I don't know what speeds you were told you would see but I know we can improve on what you have. You are right about a few things.
    The SCX lower will scrub speed and cause a few handling quirks but reliability is improved.
    The sc lower will be faster, handle better, and break sooner. How much sooner is an unknown.
    The SCX -4 is not a solution for you. Big prop with razor edges + young kids on a family boat = trouble.
    I personally run the SCX upper and sc lower with 1200+ hp. So far I have had zero handling or reliability issues but I know my lower is the weak link. I have access to parts and I build the drives myself so I am willing to gamble on this setup.
    I guarantee I can get you more performance out of your current setup but there will always be a trade off between speed and reliability when it comes to every aspect of boating. Or any go fast sport for that matter.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    Dang, you must have the magic touch... I couldn't get it over 8000rpms when it was on the trailer and I was blowing out the motor... lol

    Dustin said he need to cut up some pallets for firewood, so we wound that thing up until it sounded about right and started feeding the pallets into that little prop of yours. Shit it worked out great! I think we got about 60 pallets turned into kindling in no time. Gene wasn't to happy about us turning Howard boats into a lumber mill, but hey, there's enough firewood there for a whole dune season now.

    Of course, be my guest. It's a mess right now though.
