I don't know much about the 402 SR1, but a friend had a 357 SR1 with Merc 540's and I believe #3 drives, you could not drive that boat in a no wake zone with both drives in gear, it idled too fast for a "No Wake" , boat ran a little over 80 with fuel, and 4 good size guys, except for me at 190#.We did the BT Poker run years ago in it, and a couple guys, blew outdrives, trying to keep up. Got to 1st stop, raised hatch about 3 inches and guy comes over and says, "what's that thing got for power?", owner says, just stock merc's, raised cover and those big ol' Sterling headers, shining like a diamond in a goats arse, start gleaming , dude just walks away. Best day on the water ever. The original owner was in the boat too, we were all friends, he looked over at me and said, I never ran this boat this hard and just laughed. He was also a former Top Alcohol drag racer.

I stand corrected, the blocks were 540 cu and the motors were 575's, very nice setup. we had the silent thunder off one week to reseal it, thought it was going to vibrate all the screws out of the dock roof. Now days, boats are running up and down the Lake all day long like that. I guess the WP would rather give out BUI's citations instead. LOL !
