I was told that you couldn't fit anything but 700's under the hatch of an EC.. how much taller would a 1075 or 1100 be than a stock 700?

Stock Mercury Racing 700's don't fit. That's why my buddy went with the Ilmor's

What is a 400ss?

The 400SS has so much aero-drag that I think 100 is a real stretch with anything but turbines and shaft drives.

I will donate my 2011 400ss for a test mule and run it in the shootout if someone will convince mercury to spring for the motors!

100 mph or not it would be stupid cool!
I think the boat weighs over 17,500 with a hardtop.

keep the cruiser stock and spend a $100k on a 100mph cat to tow behind the boat :)
and put the other $ 400k in the bank

Zero percent chance. Good friend of ours has a new 2012 w/ 725 Ilmor's boat runs hign 60"s. His boat weigh's 18,000 lb's. This boat does not like cleaver props. M8's and 1350's my guess you'd pick up maybe 10 MPH.
