The 525EFI appears to be a great motor. Good power, operates on low octane fuel, closed cooling and should run for a couple hundred hours no matter how far and often the sticks are hammered. :evilb: The blower motors make the big power but also put alot of stress on parts. It seems the EFI and screw style superchargers have brought marine supercharging to a new level. However, I think supercharging a motor is like juicing an athlete, sure they put up big numbers but most of the time the careers are shortened by injury. :(

300x's...but the 850's are badass, and for everyday usability 525

You forgot to include the 350 MAG - one of the best engines out there. :drink:

Anyway, I picked the 525's for reliability, cost and the fresh-water cooling.

Any Opti-Max outboard would be my choice of O/B's.

The poll engines are the "Mercury Racing" brand of engines which can include the the hot rod outboards. Otherwise Mercury is outboards and Mercruiser is I/O for the family stuff.
