We are the Cox distributor for the northeast. We are readily available to support the product with locations throughout New England. We recently launched a boat with triples at Front Street Shipyard. The us sales manager lives in the New England area and the aftersales support manager for COX lives on the east coast.

I would be interested in what hull the trips were installed on as well as performance numbers for that hull whenever you have that information..thanks

They were installed on a 42 Sea Blade. 40.6 knots at WOT and 51 gph for all three. There are some videos of the boat on Instagram.

Am I right in believing this is the plug for the 42 sea blade mentioned in the previous post...

 

[WoundUpMarine]

Sure looks like it.

That would be it! Rode really nice.

 

[Codcruncher]

Right...I was trying to figure what the hull was to coincide with the performance numbers you gave...I am not at all familiar with those hulls..

Is that 51 gallons per hour total at WOT? What are the cruise numbers?

Thank you for your response. I went to the Cox website and tried to establish communication via email and got nothing in return. Normally when I email Mack Boring I get a response in an hour. Good to see you respond and she’d some light on the product.

Just spent a day at the International Workboat show in New Orleans and OXE and COX were on display, as were a few other engine manufacturers. OXE had 10 times the interest, and after getting a chance to look at them both OXE seems to be a very well designed engine. I’m still personally skeptical about having a belt driven lower unit, but time and abuse will ultimately determine how it works out. Regardless it was very cool to see both engines up close.

On another note there was a pair of v12 600 horsepower Mercurys, and they are MASSIVE engines, absolute monsters. There was also a Suzuki 350 there, and a rep that gave me no confidence in the engine when I asked him about it and his first response was “do you really need a duo prop engine?”

Lol at the Suzuki rep that said that to you...probably will be out of a job before long...

John, so the OXE has an option for props or jetdrive?

 

[Diesel Jerry]

I want a 200HP Oxe on a 23 Crowley sooooo bad.

They just debuted the jet drive at the show. Honestly I couldn’t care less about the jet drive aspect, but the debut included free beer so I was a big fan. I really liked the “power head” of the OXE, and hope the best with longevity for the lower end. I did ask if they had any intentions of going to a duoprop lower unit to get more torque into the water but didn’t seem like it was on the drawing board.

i heard a guy say the oxe was a vw car diesel, anyone know if this is the base that its built on, if not, what is the automotive base for this

I have Yanmar training next week at Mack Boring. I plan to get there early and look around and maybe ask some questions.

 

[WoundUpMarine]

There’s a BMW badge on the one with the jet drive. That’s all I know, I didn’t ask who helped design the engine.

 

[Diesel Jerry]

No VW in the Oxe. The 300 hp is a BMW, the 250/200 is a GM diesel, the smaller are Opel.

I’ve heard so many bad stories about the Suzuki 350, straight from guys who repower boats, guys who have owned them, guys who have friends that have owned them. I’m sure Suzuki makes great outboards in HP below 350, but from everything I have heard, the 350 has had trouble.

I know!! It’s so sad because I think it could be a fantastic engine, and really a perfect engine for a sub 26ft down east in a single application. The rep’s response pretty much summed up exactly what I thought though, something to steer clear of.
