You make me LMAO. I have other shots - you know - wax on and wax off!:ack2: Oh, maybe Sandy has those!

Colette needs a driver - so when she goes I go - and no friggin sea food for her. Make sure the cooks have the blackened chops ready.:biggrinjester:

By the way - get a more creative avatar - like mine!:sifone:

I am not a fan of nxt. The blunt bullet and cone clutch trans seem poor in design. IMO they should of tried a similar set up like the konrad drive.

The Lavey SVL boat was running a 525 with the NXT drive....initially I think the prop choices were limited but they got it worked out...I have heard that the 525w/NXT from Merc was more $ than the 700 package...doesn't make sense

The Lavey SVL 525 picked up like 4MPH, but quadrupled the prop budget.

Dont know about pricing.

This thread went everywhere but answering the question.
Well???? Faster? by how much? slower?/

the Lavey boat gained 4MPH & CNC milled props are hella expensive.

I would be willing to replace my IMCO's with NXT's if someone had a pair for me. I'll do this just so you guys can have the answer. :sifone:

 

[Uncle Dave]

ok...thats new info...

Just found out the LaveyCraft guys are pulling the NXT drive from their rig despite picking up a few MPH-

- they don't like the way the boat handles with a single NXT- duals apparently are ok.

Not sure what they will go with but Im hoping they'll put an Ilmor drive on it.

Same here.... as a charity case I'd be willing to do all the work on my boat to facilitate the swap! :26:

Miamuh Merc booth had a 525 w/NXT. Guy in booth said that for single apps they were using a wedge on the skeg much like on the eggbeaters...
