I know, but they could have been left-overs from somewhere. The reason I asked is because I have not seen any new Mers 1350's in their boats and they have their own in-house engine department.

Thnik about it carefully and you can answer this question very easily:
A performance boat builder is going to build and offer a $200K-$300K new boat. He is going to save $8K total using twin 8.2HO's w/Bravo IX drives versus twin HP525EFI's w/Bravo XR's??? No Way, absolutely no way he is going to risk the ultimate sale of that boat for that little savings and any customers who can afford to buy that boat are going to opt down for that little savings!! As for stock power, I think HP525's have a pretty good reputation as stock power sans the header issues they had in a few boats. My thoughts on this Cigarette are that obviously Cigarette has a great relationship with Mercury and Mercury wants some more of these 502HO's out in the marketplace and in use to expose performance boaters to this new engine offering and hopefully a lot of new other builder boat buyers would look at Cigarette's reputation and name and say, Yah, I should spec. that engine package in my new boat. So Mercury practically gives the engine packages to Cigarette as an incentive to use them, not because a lot of Cigarette customers are standing in line to order them! Just a thought.

Just look at the spider version of the top gun, that did not last long in the model line up, there whole advertising campain threw the years has been about excess you can't have it both ways.

If I read the thread correctly, this was a customers boat, ie ordered this way by them?
