Blew the lower out of an 08 250 PRO XS this weekend. I'm ignorant to lowers overall and have a few questions.
Someone local to me has a lower out of an 02 Opti 225 that I can pick up fairly cheap. What are major differences between that OPTI lower and mine? What issues could I run into using that Lower?
I have been pricing torquemaster lowers as well, if I don't go with the OPTI lower, any year TM I should avoid?

On a Gambler I would only use a Gen1 Torquemaster.
They say if your boat runs 80 the gen one , but your engine would take a verodo style which is stronger as I have been told and a couple thousand less. 880686a43 you will need a flo torque hub kit. I wouldn't hesitate to run one on my stratos 201 not sure on the gambler if your running 80 plus maybe not.
Gen-1 TM ONLY on this boat. I would not even consider running any of the others.
Have several customers that have tried virtually everything- several resulted in J-hooks and bruised-broken ribs (lucky that's all it was).
Set up just right... most of them were consistently 80.5 - 83.7 MPH rigs.
