First of all stay away from the single sprag units if you are running the horsepower you posted.
The Lenco will work great until it rolls the sprag on you the first time and you over rev the engine and kick out a few rods.
Believe me we know this from experience with the single sprag unit and it really hurts the ole pocket book when it happens.
You can send the unit into Lenco and have it upgraded to the duel sprag setup which is well worth the money spent.
If you are serious about gettig a 2 speed for your boat and have the money to spend I would think about getting one of Scott Owens spragless transmissions and have no worries about failure.
