Anyone know:
the actual weight difference between a NXT, #6, M8?
Length difference? (Transom to propshaft)
Input shaft to propshaft dimension on the NXT?
I have a dimension sheet on the #6 but have never found anything on the NXT or M8.
Yes I know this thread is almost 11yrs old

Last I remember the shop was going to put bigger turbos on and retune it with some race gas to see what it would max out at. Even as is I'm sure on higher boost they can get into the 130's with it.
Here's a vid of the setup in a 25 Nordic V bottom with an IMCO drive.

What size Cat is this Nordic?
Also this looks to be a NXT drive?
Can you Confirm?
Thank you

Thanks Dave
Anyone have success running the NXT as a Single on a Cat
24' Eliminator is the boat is Question
It was rigged with a #6 / 1.30 Gear
1" above the bottom
Big Block Turbo about 1,200 HP
Porpoises pretty bad in the 40-mph range
Day 2 of testing with a 4-blade transom picked up and kicked over a tad about 90 mph
Feel free to banter and the end of the day myself & some friends are trying to help
where the cards have already been laid.
What we are told at this point is
Bad gear choice / again card that was delt
Told (x) should be 4" above the bottom not 1"
Told that a single #6 will never work on a cat?
Not real excited about Bravo or IMCO options, respect to all of them
Just inviting more maintenance for the individual is not the plan.
(I / we) do not have much insight on the NXT's
But I'm told they like to run (in) the water, rather than surface?
It's built stronger than the (bravo) type drives in my humble opinion
As far as bolting right on in its current Height 1" above the bottom
Thoughts on.. Is it a better drive for single engine Cat?
Will it help & clean up any of the current challenges already listed with the #6?
Thank you for any and all insight / Goal is to move forward
Thank you
