Jass your correct. In a application like yours now doubt the NXT's are the way to go. But in a modest boat with modest up grades save the money and stay with Bravo's.
Before Mercury went to multiple stages of Bravo's I had a 97 Thunder with Twin 800's and stock Bravo's on Boxes with 3 trouble free season.

I can tell you from experience a couple summers ago when I was testing the drive in one of Mercurys test boats. Mercury had a 36 BAJA w/ a single 700 and an NXT drive. Part of the routine was to try to break it. In trying to break it we would hole shot it from a dead stop. We tested it for months under those kind of conditions - It Never Broke....
Price starting at 20k each.....

Not to argue but,after building a few boats,I would rather sell what I had and buy something with the right hardware.That conversion is gonna be costly no matter what.I would think konrads would be cheaper?

$20K for the leg, + $10K for the transom assembly + a transmission and $$$$$$$$$$$$
The transom cutout is the same as it is for a #6 Speedmaster for those asking about the bolt pattern.

Here's my take on it..Boating is to be fun..thats why we buy these machines..when going out if it becomes a hassle once or twice a year with a break down, or always having it in the back of your mind especially on a PR..thats when it becomes un-fun..
