We had the chance to meet with Bill and Monica at the Grand Rapids Boat Show, where they were displaying their boat with its new drives and engines. An amazing piece of work.

It will be very interesting to see how it performs and handles. No one has done a direct change from NXT's to 6's before that I know of. Before the boat was at 99 MPH. Now ????????
