XR, like on a Mercury 600SCi. Mercury rates their engines conservatively, so they are probably about the same power to-the-prop as your engines.
The long lowers, like on Imco, cause a lot more drag -- wetted surface is slow.
Last week I saw two identical boats, one with a 600 SCi+Xr, the other a 700 on-the-dyno with the long Imco lower, and the 600+XR was 5 mph faster.
