But the Great Lakes are hard on drives!! Mine let go yesterday on a full throttle run on the St. Clair River. BANG! lol Victory Marine has new, old style XR uppers for $3,900 and one is on the way. The boat will be down for two weeks . The tow was covered under my TowBoatUS towing insurance but this boat had a top speed of 8 mph which made for a five hour tow! Expensive hobby..........
