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.

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.
