600sci experience?

Re: 600sci experience?
I know this is stepping it up a bit. But if your buying a new boat, you might want to work on your dealer a bit about the 700SCI. Merc is really trying to move these and is make some very attractive pricing.

I heard they are selling them for the same price as the 600SCI's. Is that true?

Thanks for the input. I rolled with the 600sci. I want the extra couple of mph and work is too busy/don't have the time to work the bugs out of an aftermarket setup anytime soon.

Check out the new engine/drive package in the Konrad booth at the Miami show next week. 800HP and ACE shorty drive. You will never break it and would be a dynamite package in a big single vee.
pm203: I'd like to hear more specifics on the supercharged 525s that blew their drives.

Ft. Lauderd, FL. Atlantic Ocean. Running from flat to 6' and nasty. I've run the boat hard in all conditions and don't even have dirty oil in the lowers. I think Mr. OL needs a throttle lesson if he blowing units on a lake

PM ---- Does Mr. OL maintain/replace his internal drive gears etc... at the suggested intervals (every 75 hrs., depending on props and how hard you run the boat)?

Reason: fluid gets pulled back from the G-force and doesn't circulate --- hence, causing no lubrication.
Don't know if it's actually true, but ask anyone who has ridden w/ me across Biscayne Bay etc..... I always back off for 1-2 seconds every so often --- no drive issues. Oh yeah, and I do the maintance.
