no blowers, lighter weight, better drive/tranny than NXT. Basically same speed from everything I've seen within 1-2 mph. "Should" have higher quality CMI's, but not positive (non-merc spec'd)

Our 725 burns approx 50 gallons per hr at WOT.

Jupiter Sunsation will chime in and tell you about his run from Miami to KW this year.

Has not been a real back-to-back accurate test between hulls to verify speeds.

Do a search in the GD area using "Ilmor". You'll find a lot.

I'm going off the Donzi 38zr 105-107 for merc and Ilmor, and Hustler 39 Rockit ~ 115 for merc and Ilmor. Would love to see a comparison like the 600 vs 625 inthe 39 OL. LINK
