Looks like the ramp Eddie uses. Must have a new truck. Very well might be Travis in the truck Eddie in the boat.

I do not know. You can contact Mike at MDC. He is the inventor/designer/manufacturer of the system. The DG replaces the stock Bravo coupler, but he has other configurations. More and more race teams are using it. (Lilly, Saris, Stihl, Boxer to name a few)

The size of the boat looks alarmingly inadequate next to Eddie's giant new tow rig, thanks for sharing. In all seriousness Eddie and his trusted side kick Travis do great work. I'm hard on parts and can't seem to break their stuff, thanks guys! Here's a link of the motor cold start after reinstalled in the boat:

Cold start being the appropriate phrase. It was about 33 when we ran it on the hose, but it warmed right up when we lake tested it. It was up to a balmy 38 deg.

That's it. Poor truck is filthy. It's been raining for the last 3 weeks, so I didn't even bother with cleaning it. Just had it all washed up today though.

Very cool congrats, that NSX should be a rocket, just curious, what speeds were you seeing before the 150HP upgrade?

103 w/ Bravo XR upper/IMCO SC lower and 98 w/ IMCO SCX upper/SC lower in ideal conditions before upgrade. That's w/ a Bravo 34 pitch non-labbed prop. The boat is setup to pull my kids skiing, not for pulling a great top end number. Idles like my late grandmother's old Buick. I was bummed not to be able to bury the speedo after the drive upgrade, hence the recent bump in power. Super fun boat as you're well aware of owning a 25 Talon.

Nice! Love my little Talon also, I will probably never sell that boat, great little boat for me to go hot rodding around in. Mine does about same speed 98-99 MPH with a Victory Marine 572" 680 HP and XR built with XZ gears. I spin the 572 5,700 r's..... and it has a real lumpy idle!

Picked the boat up this afternoon to take her home. Here are a few pics from Eddie's shop today.
