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

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

I'd MUCH rather have the Ilmor/Indy 725's anyway!

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

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

I believe Summer Obsession has done just that... other then it costing 100K

2011 400SS Formula and a 2011 40 Skater!!!

What a great combination of boats, I loved my 400SS but wanted more speed so bought my Cig...

Double the hp and surface drives and you are guessing 10mph?

What are his current slip numbers?

I think it is possible, I have a friend with a one off "sandler" 47 ft 20k lb boat (lower profile) trip 1000s and asd8 drives, 103 mph
