    Another LU question for the Rude gurus

    I know I probably can't afford it, but whats the price on a new lightning LU, and do you think it will give me any performance gains?
    Thanks again!

    Re: Lightning LU

    There was a new take off Lightning lower unit on ebay this week for dealer cost...

    I have an empty Lightning gearcase housing, 'supposedly' removed for cosmetic paint flaws by a dealer in Minnesota, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. It'll be for sale when I check it for alignment and really go over it.

    Re: Lightning LU (25xs)

    Looks like the insurance co is gonna take care of it, thanks for reminding me Won, haha. There gonna look at it next week, who knows, maybe I can convince em I need one of those shiny new LU's!! The weird thing in all this, is that it didn't hurt the prop or skeg at all. I'm running a merc tempest, I don't know if that makes any difference or not.
