I thought Max Machine Worx is the sheiit??? :idea:
They STILL are !!!!!! ;)
Actually it's my 3rd drive in about 10 months or so..... :idea:
1st was just after I put the new motor in.....Lost the lower XR gear set....Max put one of their new set's in.... :idea:
2nd was when I snapped one of Max's new prop shafts....may have damaged the shaft when the lower gear set went..... :idea:
Now this one.....Who know's what happend.....Just put the boat back in my garage and went out to dinner with the Sbark crew !!!! ;)
Left Aaron a message on the way home tonight.....Hopefully be back in business next week.......
But MAN......What a GREAT weekend......Sooooo Beautiful out at Havi !!!!!

But seriously though You should check into an Arneson Surface drive Or the weisman drive in my sig it is indestructable and faster you could probly see a 100 mph run with a surface drive and the rite prop like a 32p or a 34p labbed!

So yesterday......Which feels like today cause I'm still up.......
I took my boat to Max.......
and within an hour, Jason had my spare drive on and I was off to the lake.... :)
Looks like the upper XR gear set went and destroyed my upper housing.... :cry:
All the Max parts held together...... :rollside:
Thanks again Aaron & Jason for the great customer service..... :smile:
and for getting me and the family out on the water..... :)

ShakenNotStirred- I'm thinking you need to be a little easier on the drive lol :coffeycup 27' single engine v-hull with that power is definitely on the edge. If you're "only" going 85, that must be a hell of a load on that drive :rolleyes: How much is Max charging you on the previous repairs?

Yea....
The hull is not the most efficient.....6,000 lbs w/fuel & people....
It's a BIG 27' boat......Huge mid-cuddy.....
No charge as yet......
They stick by their product.....

Man that really says a lot about their customer service. I convinced the local boat shop up here(Pacific Power Boats) to try their drives. They bought a couple uppers, to go on a Fountain with vortech blowers around 800hp each. Running high 90's so far w/ no issues.
