Love your current 30! I'm surprised more folks don't run the LS engines... especially blown LS's!
You lost me at Bravo's!
Sharp boat though!

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.

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!

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

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.
