I would love to see a pic of the transom when the drives get bolted on.
So did they make the one with Merc 700's/NXT's?

The third one should have Whippled 525's with the Bravo conversion Arnesons....

Cool pics and thanks for posting.


I'm more of a charger guy. I'd prefer the Merc 700's over the Ilmors for my boat.

I gues the 700 `with NXT won`t fit under the hatch since the NXT installtion brings the engine much higher than a Bravo installation

The x dimension on those drives looks short. They seem to be higher than bravos (i know they are bigger) and I'm starting to think that 72 may be conservative.

Did they raise the drives on this?
