This ol thing looks BRAND NEW. Not sure what all they were doing with it but it looks as if it was just built.

Some amazing boats in production!

The 28 Speedster caught my eye..... Those look like dry sump LS motors powering the boat. It is about time someone did an big power LS deal, I hope Eliminator posts some results on this boat, it should haul ass and being of much lighter weight on the ass end this boat has the potential to perform and handle awesome!

That boat should be at Desert Storm I was told. I really liked that build.... Maybe when the buyer is ready to sell I can afford it![emoji7]

I would really like to see this boat up close. The engine rigging looks simply awesome. Did Eliminator rig the power? If so, nice work. Super custom tucking the dry sump tanks in front of the engines. Looks very custom yet accessible for oil changes.

I will remember the gel on this boat so not to get spanked on the water! This should be a rocket!

If I had to guess, Bob had a pair and the price was too good to pass up.

NXT drives, although obsolete, are a very good drive and can handle lots of power. NXT transmissions not so much.

More or less a glorified bravo , but I mean decent power and poor hydrodynamic,s .

Cannot compare a NXT drive to a bravo. Internals are the same as a 6 except one less shaft in the lower and not dry sumped.

Agreed the hydrodynamics are not as good as a 6 and this boat could potentially have the same problem that other really fast NXT boats have where the boat rides up on the bulky torpedo and flat skag. Wilson may have to fix that, they will find out in testing.

Yep, I had the interior redone from them in January in my 25 daytona. It turned out awesome!

They didn’t use the NXT trans, customer wanted the NXT drives. Rigged by GT Performance.

Rigging looks like GT Perf, simply awesome!

Big fan of this boat, like everything about it! Especially like the LS power, so refreshing to see something besides a BB Chevy.
