For the 2003 Season SCL can run one of three power options. That being the HP500 EFI, HP525, and the GM Vortec HP3. Also having the choice o Sterndrives such as the Mercruiser Bravo One, XZ, XR, XR Sportmaster, XR Short Sportmaster, and the #6 SSM Sterndrives from Mercury. The IMCO Xtreme Advantage Drives are also approved for this class

Your best answer to that would be to someone who has raced the class. I have not. I heard that the #6 did not need the amount$$$$ of maintanence as the bravos. Now the Bravos have been upgraded and built to stronger tolerance I am told. I have also been told that you give up MPH with the #6 but make up for it in the rough water. Team Tellium was a #6 boat and was very dominate with there set up. I think now you will see more people running the bravos cause of the speed advantages with them.

In rough water you can't beat the #6 drive, if flat water you really need to work to be competitive.
I was the driver for Tellium the two years it raced.
