Last I knew NO RES had a pair of mild supercharged 572's in it built by Dave Wesseldyk of WESCO and Dave installed the engines. It also sounded as if the guy was very pleased with the reliability of the engines, but could not keep the Merc #3's from breaking (cannot remember if they were # 3's or 3A's). Anyway, why put more power in if the current drives cannot handle the current power it already has???

Also,....if you want to know a little secret....Dave of WESCO is A LOT more reasonably priced than Sterling and just as capable. He has built some truly wild stuff and it stays together!

When it comes to Big RELIABLE Power, in the past several years, I have seen A LOT of Offshore power boaters from Chicago make the trip with their stuff to Dave's shop when it needs to be done right. He's an extremely talented small town farm boy without the hype! Engines just keep showing up by 2's at his doorstep....even in this economy! Have Fun.
