DynaMarine Evo with Hemi Power
"In 2014 DynaMarine built me a 15ft 6 passenger New Gen III 426 ci Hemi powered airboat. I opted to use the Ballistic gearbox, as it definitely the most bad ass looking box out there. To my surprise it was extremely quiet compared to all other gear boxes I've encountered or owned to date. I have changed the oil several times and it always comes out just as clean as the day oil was put in. In my experience, Ballistic and DynaMarine customer service are second to none. A great big thanks to all. I couldn't ask for anything more!!"

Ballistic Stands Up To The Demands of Commercial Airboating
"When building my first airboat, I mostly followed the direction of a friend with similar interests and purchased a gear box from a competitor of Ballistic. I sent the box to my boat builder to install and I was looking forward to great news on how my new rig was performing, but instead I got a call from the builder with very bad news. The brand new gearbox didn't make it through the initial water test! I tried to get it fixed by the manufacturer, but with no luck. After becoming very frustrated, I decided to call Ballistic to see if they might help me out. I got Shane on the phone and to my relief their customer service was fantastic to say the least! Shane got right on it and I had my new gearbox delivered to my door in a matter of days. Since then I have put hundreds of hours on my original Ballistic box and I have now purchased several more of their excellent drives. All I can say is I will never run anything but Ballistic gearboxes. You can't go wrong. They go above and beyond to take care of their customers and deliver the best gearbox on the market . . . guaranteed!!"

A gorgeous airboat with a dependable Ballistic gearbox out back. Beautiful!

"This Ballistic box is bad ass! I regularly abuse it with 250-300hp shots of nitrous and it’s just as smooth and quiet as it was 3 years ago."

Regular doses of nitrous don't phase this bulletproof Ballistic drive
Ballistic Rules
"Hands down, Ballistic is one of the nicest boxes I've ever owned. I gained 100 rpms after replacing a competitor's box with a Ballistic. I'm running a Ballistic on another of my boats and I've never had one problem; quiet and very smooth, and the appearance is far superior to anything else out there. I'm currently building another high performance airboat which will be running the Ballistic race box."

Loud and proud, this beast pushes the envelope of performance
Performance On Every Level
"I must say, Shane at Ballistic has provided excellent customer service, and builds truly awesome products. He has set new bar in the industry, and has exceeded all of my expectations. His advice was right on the money, overall the service was great. Big props to Shane, Ballistic Gear Drives and DynaMarine Performance Boats."

"I chose Ballistic Gear Drives because they are simply the best. I met Shane before I ever owned his product, and once he finally convinced me to try a Ballistic box on my boat, I was hooked. Ballistic customer service is outstanding, and I received the box right on time. My Ballistic is very quiet and runs at cool temperatures. Bottom line, the Ballistic box looks awesome and performs like a champ. Just Go Ballistic!"

Strong, Smooth and Quiet. Check It Out!
"I called up Ballistic to order a box, and they not only had the ratio I wanted in stock, they had it in anodized color options as well . . . also in stock and ready to go. When I received my box I gave it a good look over and the quality and craftsmanship are beyond belief. I rotated it by hand was shocked at how smooth it spun! I have hand-spun a lot of Stingers and Rotators, and I have NEVER felt one even close to being as smooth to spin as the Ballistic box. I now have 3 hours on it and I can honestly say this box is VERY QUIET.
Here is a short video we shot recently at Hotdog Island. While there, we had a couple guys come up. Their very first words were 'what gearbox is on that? It's so quiet we thought it was a direct drive!' To me that says it's pretty quiet. Now if you ask the boys at Ballistic, they will tell you that (per their design) the box makes some noise. But if you ask me, you have to listen really close to hear ANYTHING. I would say, without a doubt, that the Ballistic box is quieter than any cast box I've ever heard."
