Re: #6 HP consumption
The big thing in a single engine boat of this type of weight is that a #6 is going to be just about Bullet Proof. With all the race guys running around #6 props aren't too hard to find either.

If you use an extension box, you can put the transmission in the box. This would allow you to keep the engine in the stock location. This combination has been bullet proof for me.

You don't fear drive failure when you've got a Bravo, you expect it

Re: #6 HP consumption
The way I have understood it is Mercury's transome assembly already has you set back 12" so most boats have no need for the box.
However some boats still benifit from an additional 12" so the Stelling's extension box comes into play.
Check300 has his transmission in side of his stellings extension box, mounted into a plug-in #6. He was able to keep his engine back and a stock rear seat location. He could fill you in better, but he has a great set-up.
