Default 382/600's speed

Ran our 08 photo shoot 382 today prior to Thurs sea trial with buyer. 85 GPS. Always amazed at the 382,big,heavy wave crusher,but can put down solid numbers.

Ours also runs 85. We had half tank of gas and 6 people running 81-82. We are ready for something faster though. Great boat though

Those are good numbers for that boat! I would not doubt you could squeeze a little more out of her.

I am curious, what is the longevity of the 600's vs the 525's ?

I like the speed as well but prefer the lower maintenance motors that will put out the hrs before problems will arise.

We have had no long term issues on either motors.600's are very low boost,sometimes referred to as "cosmetic blowers". Both have FormulaGuard 5 year warranty,the warranty folks could not afford to offer this if there were longevity problems.I am very comfortable with either.
