Sorry for the delayed response.
Basically, the NXT is the same as it was when it first came out. Very bulletproof! The only real change is that they offer what they refer to as a cambered skeg option for single engine boats. This skeg is convex on the left side and concave on the right...
Thanks for all of the compliments.
RD - Thanks for the compliments. The boat is so boring going straight, we have to do something for fun! :)
TitanPB27 - You have no room to talk. I have seen you do stuff (turns, etc.) that owners tear their SH!T up trying to duplicate! You know...
Here is a video we shot of a 26 Redline that we repowered with a Merc 700. It has a Stage 2 upgrade and tops out at 126 on the rev limiter. This is by far not a light boat. We weighed it at 5142 lbs with a light load (20-30 gallons) of fuel so it is around 4960 lbs.
It is running the new...
First of all, I would like to say that the accident at Lake Cumberland is a horrible tragedy. Two great men died this past weekend and my heart and prayers go out to the families and friends of those involved.
As you all are now aware, the Facebook Page is not mine nor is it controlled by...
The customer is responsible for shipping. It can go full of fluids since it is on the trailer and not in a container. No, I am not going to Norway! They have been here and are probably coming back before shipment. The trailer is going over stock and they are modifying it over there. It has...
I love the fact that your priorities are right...order one THEN pay off the house!!
To answer the eariler question:
It is a NXT drive with the cambered skeg that we have further modified since it does not completely resolve the "blow out" issue. Basically, it has a small, very small...
As long as it says 662 etc. it is fine. They don't re-check the emissions. The engine passes emissions without cats and would probably still pass them with the upgrade as well. As far as noise, it has mufflers. They are not in it in the video. If you notice the long black jumber hoses in...
Here is a quick video of the latest 26 Redline that we just finished up getting it ready to head to Norway. It has a Merc EU 662SCi with a Stage 3 Whipple upgrade on it. Stock with the 662 it run 108 with the upgrade it is running 119.

We were going to do a build thread on the last couple we built but one customer did not want too much info out there. Then we got kind of behind on the next one and I was not going to sacrifice build time just to try to maintain a build thread. I did not feel it was fair to the customer. We...
Thanks to everyone for all of the compliments!! We are still dialing it in and may try a gear change after Cumberland.
As far as headers, they are Sport Tubes. The Big Tubes wont make the turn that we need in a Bravo style setup. Too close to the transom. Big tubes would probably help it...
Actually, before it was running a naturally aspirated 565 with an IMCO SC. It would consistently run 114 and was a little loose due to drive height and setup. Now, it is so hooked up that there is litterally no difference between running 90 and running 130+.
The drive height could stand...
No offense taken just thought it was an interesting question. We just built a couple that are out west. Including the one that has the SSM6 drive that is responding to questions in this thread (NM Bullet). I guess I'm just not the bragging type enough!!:D
Here's some testing before we went to the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout. We were a little over propped. Would have liked to have turned a few more RPM but I am happy with the outcome.

The Orange 662 boat went to Norway. It was significantly muffled for EU noise certification and ran 106 with a 16.25" X 37-18 degree cleaver. With the Stage I Whipple kit (ECU reflash) it ran 117. We are building another 662 boat right now with a few mods to the setup from Orange boat. It...
