With all due respect to Nor-Tech the Merc 6 was not a good decision for this boat. Warbird has 6s but it runs 1450hp turbines and has not had a drive problem that I'm aware of. The 1850s are just too powerful for the Merc 6.

I'm with Sean, if you're doing those speeds, you know exactly the speed you're going, not around 200. That is a speed only a few have reached and it is not documented by estimates. Don't get me wrong, absolutely beautiful boat and I'm sure very fast, but not around 200
