What puts you in a good situation is you have taken care of them. and you dont HAVE to move up, you just WANT to.

Would be willing to trade them for your 525's. 160mph is just too fast for the lake and is overkill

Re: 525 EFI's marketability???
Ok guys I have a new angle to work... I can sell the pair for $40k, but I have to take a brand new never started or registered(warranty) 525 in trade. Any takers on a brand new 525 EFI?????? I probably can sell the new motor to Nor-Tech, but a reasonable offer tonite may move it!!!! I think dealer net is in the 28's, a little higher than one of the early posts thought.

I would have went with their motors originally but the EFI's weren't on the market at the time.
