The uppers are not even close to an NXT. Talk to all the people that blow them the same as an XR and loose alot of mph.

yup, but i think he had a deposit on it and the guy never came up with the money. so the price may have changed in the last couple of days. heres another question, would you buy it for $75k??????? if your answer is yes, do what I would do. he already said $85k on the phone, so go to the bank, and send a check for $75K......hes crazy if he doesnt take it in this market. real money talks right now, not some BS over the phone IMO

Ok, ok, boys. Fight nice. NOw Im curious too. Who has proof to back up their statement that a BMAX drive is a stronger/weaker drive than a Mercury XR drive? If Dans right, this could change your next purchase Scot! On the other hand, I believe the old Bravo Shop is under new ownership and specializing in the BMAX drive and getting rave reviews....:party-smiley-004:
