Jim, what ever happened to this boat? I kick myself for not being able to buy this off of you! I looked it over good when you had it up to the St. Clair races, love that boat.

Just got off the phone with Mike at Sterling and he said the boat is not listed anywhere for sale and it's not for sale but if someone wants to pay a large premium.......everything is for sale. You can have a new one built in about 3 months for what it would cost to buy that one.

Installation and setup fix

During the first 2 years, I went through 6 lower units, at regular 15-20 hours intervals. After fighting with everyone involved, I decided that I needed to get involved and figure out what was wrong. After I found and fixed the installation and setup problems, they have been perfect. I have not had any lower unit problems in the last 1 3/4 years.

I have a Skater 32 classic with the exact same cracks on my 300X lower units. What was the installation and setup problems you found and fixed? Thanks any info would be great.

KEVLARKAT32 02-04-2011 12:01 PM

Looks like they make 3 different decks for the 30 ?
I.O with big windshield
OB with fairing
I.O with 1/4 can

Is this true ?

Ryan Beckley 02-04-2011 12:46 PM

or a full canopy race boat like ours.........

KEVLARKAT32 02-04-2011 01:08 PM

Very nice boat !!

Pete can put the canopies, windshield, full cockpit or nothing on the flat decks. The molded deck for the outboard is flip up's only.

I don't think I've seen a 30 around these parts. Any pics?
Love your current 30! I'm surprised more folks don't run the LS engines... especially blown LS's!

Anesons would be sweet on that boat, or you can run NXT's, Indy's or Bravo's. #6's are to heavy ... The Sterling/Bravo boat runs very good though.

JIMKID Motorsports 02-06-2011 07:52 AM

I have X power so far so good no broken prop shafts and props sitting on the bottom of the lake or blown up upper gear cases exspensive but being able to beat on the the drive and not worry pricelees . bravoes on a cat is like having snow tires on a funny car no fun just my 3 cents worth inflation you know

To my knowlege only one Skater NXT boat out there & it was a bear to get the handling sorted out on. I inquired about all options for the inboard 30 waiting for the ILMOR Indy drive to be released for the Gen III engines. I believe they are on a 368 w/ 525's beautiful boat.

Sterling Mike's GF's boat is probably my all arounf favorite 30. I wish I had the wrap around windshield, deck & tunnel extension. Paint & interior are very clean & sharp looking.

I have tons of pics & a few videos of my boat if you want to see something in particular.

Below is a link to my buddies site Performance Images. Dave was nice enough to take a day off during the week to snap some pics & video during some prop testing I was doing late last year. Some of his pics even made the PB Mag story. Video #2 is the best (2nd from left top row)

I see Stainless has his Ilmor #6 32' for sale in the classifieds, thats a beautiful boat!

Aren't the NXT's just about as heavy as the 6's?

No they are much smaller & lighter, close in weight to the ILMOR INDY & probably the X-Power!


http://mercuryracing.com/drives/

Mercury Racing has just written a new chapter in the book of revolutionary marine propulsion with the development of the all new dry-sump NXT¹® drive. The drive is robust enough to handle engines between 525 and 700 horsepower with an input torque rating of 800 ft-lbs. The engine/transom plate/drive package is nearly 200 pounds lighter than a comparable engine outfitted with a standard size transmission and dry-sump Six drive. Both the drive and transmission feature dry-sump lubrication for higher efficiency and reduced operating temperatures.

Interesting, thanks!
