This appears to be a very nice 368. Underpowered but lots of potential!

Ive been looking at this boat and thought it would do better than 116 with 525. is that right?

I couldn't say for sure what it should do b/c there aren't any other 525 / NXT Skaters out there in any size but I wouldn't have guessed any higher. Certainly not 120mph. NXT's aren't the most efficient drives statically or hydronamically, add a real trans as it appears the owner of TopCat did & there goes a few more HP's.
Just my $.02

My guess is cost savings. If you have no intention of upgrading the power during your ownership & don't care about resale or the next guy you've certainly covered the 525 engine H.P. output mating it to an NXT.

I do not understand the NXT drive on a skater. The cost change must be very small.
MTI states the 36 and 40 run 125 with 700's. the 525 only has a 5-8 mph difference?
I called MIT for a quote. My girl looked at the MTI and asked why the seats are on the floor and seating dash area is cramped so I guess the MTI is out. Not to mention they want a large up charge for a skater like lay up.
We really don't have any MTIs in NJ.
