Check out the nordic 28 with the X Power drive on it. It has a teague 1000 in it and it goes over 130mph. Thane said it was the fastest 28 with that horsepower rating. We will warranty the X Power drive to 1600 hp and we also guarantee it goes faster then any other drive. Far lighter then all the drives mentioned above and a direct replacement for a bravo drive. Installed it only weighs 202 lbs wet. Its an actual dry sump drive. Their is basically zero oil in the drive except for what is sprayed in via the 3 stage dry sump pump that is integrated right on the drive. It also has a self contained dry sump tank under the carbon covers.

It's a fine looking drive for sure! I have not yet got the the point of pricing between x and WMD but would be curious, transom assembly and all. Does it need a transmission?

How often do y'all recommend rebuilding or opening up the drive to check it out with 1600hp? Going to pm you too FYI

Been running my Weismann WMD's all summer behind the turbines and I don't have one complaint.

Put my Weismanns up for sale, ran great all year, just think that shaft drives would be the ultimate setup behind the turbines.
