Thank you sir! Only no sooner do I catch up to you & you will be upgrading leaving me behind again.
Since you aren't claiming ownership of the 36 Pier 57 just sold I believe I know where you are headed!

Thats such an awesome rig, Ive had a chubbie looking it for the last hour Nascat.
Youll definitely pick up speed with the indy and your headaches of drive maintenance are history with the indy.
I was looking at this drive at Teague and its a work of art.
Practically no parasitic loss like 14 HP I read somewhere
Its stouter than an NXT.
Are you going mechanical or digital shift? I would think that gen 3 imposes mechanical, but I could be wrong.
Oh its been out a while now and I havent heard of one breaking yet either. Only the first one having a minor assembly issue that was solved in a day or so.
Im incredibly impressed with my Ilmor product and even a single 710 is enough to give my buddys a vulgar display of power in a 28ft v.
- your rig is going to be supersonic chief-
I wanna ride!

UD- Thx for the kind words. I remember watching your ride come together & she sure turned out nice.
I'm thinking no to the electric shift b/c the Gen3 710 isn't set up to accomodate that but cables & a velvet smooth tranny will satisfy me just fine.
Bubba- Long time no see or speak, hope you are well. Destin is 3 weeks away & I'm really not sure when I'll have the boat back. I have to go to the race track the weekend before which will make picking it up & hetting some seat time prior difficult. And at the moment I have no crew, 2 of my main guys wives had babies like a week apart so I'm thinking they are both grounded.
Stay tuned............

I know of a willing crew member. I can give you his name and number if you would like.
