You're talking Merc 525's right? Is there a big variance from one to the next? Take it for what it's worth, but I've heard that most Merc 525's are under-rated, putting out anywhere from 535 to 545 pshp. I remember JC Perf saying this.

He means pick the right "525's" ;) ;) to put in. As in, "Of course those are 525's, it says it right on the top". :rolleyes: :D

The new baja poker run boat claims 92mph with 525's. thats pretty impressive without stagger and no steps.

Beachbob, I think you would lose alot of cockpit space on the 36 pantera w/ staggered motors. They build a great boat, but definitely not the fastest.
