Are they also being tested in a 32 Skater by any chance?
No, there would be no reason to put them in a 32 skater. In a 32 skater you would never have enough power to hurt a normal bam transmission, and if somehow you ended up with enough power to hurt a bam in that boat you would run over 200 in the shootout. There have been several 32 skaters with lots of power run over 160 and never break a normal trans. And the two speed would actually slow that light of a boat down because the second it took to shift would be a waste of time.
We ran a 36 skater in the shootout and ran 161 mph and made more passes then anyone else there and never hurt the bam trans.. That is not the market we are going after with these.. We are going after the market where people are breaking the biggest bam transmissions and having to put in crash boxes because they are the only other option for high hp big boats.
