Dean read the new rules. No the NXT drive is not legal in OPA,SBI or OSS rules. It will be allowed in P1. With that being said I believe the drive is off the boat already and would make a good SVL boat for someone. I heard the price is right and they worked on the bottom for better stability. Thats just what I heard and dont know for fact.

Since it was an NTX boat when it raced and the question was posed if the boat was legal, which Ron confirmed. I asked the logical question.

And yes Randy I did read the rules, I hope you have a spare tire!

Sorry, forgot about the NXT. That would be a no no.

That boat could use the engine being lowered and a jackshaft going to the drive. If it was a bit more stable, it could be fast, especially in rough water.

Glassdave,
The rules say "No aero dynamic devices"-I guess the wings would disqualify it?
It would be cool to see a bat boat run in this class.

If the rules are gonna be used to make them all run the same, why not let the Bat in? For that matter a 28 Bat with an Ilmor!
