Default 575's or 525's

Alright i was going to post this in the general section but since the motors are going to be in a Cigarette we can just keep the conversation to us.

This is more for my cousin because he's looking at stepping up from his Cafe into a TG or Tiger.

Can we get some pros and cons on the 575's and 525's. I here the shelf life of the 525 is much longer then the 575 in regards to rebuild time. It also seems like their are some deals to be had on some 575 boats and is that because they are a less desirable package to have?

I like my 575s!!! Only got to take out 2 times because of this @#$!%# cold azz weather, So maybe I am not an expert but the Blowers sure LOOK badazz and they sound pretty good too.
Now where is this Global Warming I keep hearing about.

This has already been askes in another thread, most people who have 575's love tehm and say they are better, and the people with the 525's will say the same thing about there motor. I prefer the 575, the fuel injection is nice in the 525's but the 575's run like hell and there is an easy H.P. upgrade you can do to get 630+ HP out of them.
But I have to be honest .. I never had either of them, s owhat the hell do I really know !

525's for me, I think they are more desireable(to most) and bring more $.

525's run on 87 not 89. makes it real easy to find gas. Mine run better on 87 than 89.
