I am replacing a NXT tranny right now and rebuilding a NXT drive completely. Fun stuff :(

The bam kit has an extension box that goes in between the transom and transom assembly to make some room for the transmission. It’s short though I think 5”? |

No did not blow one, but since I had the drive off and this is port side I figured let’s do em both. It’s the tranny that’s hard to get at I figured I would do them both and be done with that side. Surprisingly enough, I think this tranny is a virgin at 430 hours on the boat. Don’t think it’s been touched.

I think Gary (39 Unlimited) would be the best to answer your original question. He's built at least 2 new Cigs and opted for 6's over NXT's and sold said boat as he updated. He'd be able to give you first hand numbers I'm sure.
On a side note, I'd upgrade to 6's over NXT's all day long if possible. Just nothing more bad azz than 6's hanging off the back. (Yes, even over surface drives in my opinion). |

Thanks, everyone. Some good info in there. As always, I appreciate it.
