I think Land and Sea got out of the performance addon market a couple years ago. They still have manuals and such online here http://www.land-and-sea.com/support/...ownloading.htm but I belive the extension boxes and such are all discontinued. The stern drive extensions come up every now and again used or never installed like this one http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/1222723972.html (don't know this seller at all, just happened to find the link.)

IMCO makes extension boxes though I think now they're getting more into their own performance drives.

Also Mayfair.

CP Performance sells IMCO, Mayfair, and Zeiger extension boxes:

Thanks!

Yeah, my research was the same info. I would have thought that the L&S extetions would have been profitable. I know of 2 boats that saw 10% gains in speed, and time to plane was impressive. both were Baja 24 with 454 bravos. They went from 65 to just over 70mph. Nothing else changed. rpms went up just a bit though.

Again thanks!
