I am a huge fan of the V10 Ilmor engines! Obviously my love for the Dodge Viper helps.
For some reason I had this thought in my head that in identical boats, Ilmor 725 would out perform a Merc 700 for almost the same price. Especially since it weighs less and revs higher. I am now wondering if this is FACT or was my passion for this engine clouding the truth?
This is in no way a negative towards either engine or manufacture. They both have their place, and without options performance boating would be boring.
I would love to see a list of boats worth comparing and their performance numbers! Thanks!

I know it's 600SCi vs the Ilmore 625 but this is a classic showdown and the results would be pretty similar.
Great read too!
