With your noise restrictions over there ( they are tight, right ? ), I'd say the EU662 package.

In Italy we don't have noise restrictions for boats ! Only for cars / bikes

Gotcha.

Is there a budget ? Hangin' some 6's on the back is going to be expensive ( both in parts and in rigging ) BUT you could have the mild power in it and not be afraid to run hard. Plus, straight bottom Guns with 6's are VERY rare, so from a re-sale standpoint, you'd have a very desireable rig, even with the mild 525 or 600 power, because someone could always drop in bigger power after they buy it from you. Those packages would be nice and turn-key too, which alot of people want. But set-up and rigging are very, very important, dont know if you have anyone over there that could tackle such a project....upgraded Bravo's in general have come a long way though, and can handle more power than just a few years ago.

My opinion would be go with 525 EFI and Bravo XR Drives. Solid, reliable, turn key package.

1200 Sterlings and dry 6's with extensions.

Bigger is always better. Always.

If we had to stick to the list, 700's w/NXT's.
