Most of these boats run at a cruise 90+% of their time on the water so the 1100's are a great compromise with more than respectable top end(+ 2 yr warranty to boot as already mentioned)..... but there is something that just draws at your heartstrings when you smell race fuel!

If Pete had his way, every 368/388/40/438 would go out of Skater with 1100s. The boats are plenty fast with that power, and the 1100s are more reliable than the 1350s. It's not a matter of cost, as I don't believe there's much difference between the two. The 1100s also run on 89 octane, so if 91/93 isn't available, it's not a problem. I've spent time in 1100 powered Skaters and they run awesome! Rumor has it that Matt Rice's new 438/1100 rig has already run well into the 150s, and they think they'll get 160 out of it by the time it's 100% dialed-in. No reason for bigger power unless you're in a 46 imo.

on the situation on Jet. Why would you not want dual cal 1100/1350's would you not want the ability to run in 89 octane mode if that is all you can get for fuel?
1100's and 1350's are pretty much the same other than throttle bodies and calibration
1350/1550 is another animal in many ways than a 1350 or 1100/1350.
If you have no intention on ever running race gas to use the 1550 mode or intentions of wanting to go that fast why would you spend the extra money for 1550's
