Thread: Out Drive reccomendations

  1. #1

    Okay so I'm looking at a Marine Assault Whippled motor. Infomaniac was saying it produces something like 1200 HP.
    What kind of drive would I need to support this power reliably. I'd like to ocassionally slam the throttle and take off. I will usually baby it but I want a drive that I can abuse when it comes time to smoke some people in the deck boat.
    Price wise I'd like to stay under 15k if possible. And that's including transom.

    e-mail if you are interested.

    even a #6 will break under 1200hp. you need to go to a surface drive of some sort, or be nice to a #6. jet maybe?

    I spoke with the guy who owns: www.jtmperformancemarine.com . He's running 1200 HP throught the 'Stern Powr' drives he sells. Very old drives - Military runs alot of them. I have the old drives on my 74' Cigarette and I would guess their original and still going strong (but I'm not running near the HP your talking niether). They are big and probobly suck alot more HP than the #6's but - they would probobly be well within your price range.
    Be forwared - company that made them went out of business about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Parts will become limited!

    you can get a used one for less that 15k. you can get a pair of #5S for 12k right now and have a spare. used arneson would be the way to go

    Max Machine works in Havasu warranties thier drives up to 1200 h.p....I think a complete drive goes for around $7800.00.
    There is a guy here in New Mexico with a 1100h.p. 27ft. v-bottom running one of thier drives,the guy loves to hole shot unsuspecting cats,and last I heard the thing had held up...

    What about IMco's new 4X4 Drive from the looks of it should handle the power.
