The boat just flew over 3-4's as flat as a pancake. Mike only cranked it up to a little over 80 w/ us. 5 people and a big load of fuel. Nice ride. As the Dodge truck ad sez, Sweeeet! Keep us posted on your new boat. Good luck. Wrink

I went for a ride in No Discipline at the Miami Boat Show Poker Run. That thing crushed every wave in its path and handled like a dream. The 525's really got the boat moving too.

Been looking the PBM article on the OL Quattro all day. What a sweet looking boat!! I really hope to see one in person. Congratulations on your new purchase!!

[QUOTE=dankerst]Hey all, I'm getting a 39' Quattro this Spring and I am having trouble deciding which engine's to go with, the 525's or the 600's. What is your take on this? Do you think that Mercury will get the 600's up to the stated speed and HP promised?? Or should I stick to the 525's? Thanks for your input.[QUOTE]

These new 39's are HOT ! :cool:
Dan , you got the graffix picked out yet ?
Show us a sneak peek will ya ??? :evilb:
Damn I need to go for a boat ride !!!!

Re: Merc 525's or 600's ???
 

Still working on ideas for the graphics. trying to do something a little different.

Re: Merc 525's or 600's ???
 

Thats the tough part ! I hate trying to chose graffix !!!!!!!

Have fun with it and keep us posted ... You get any more feed back on the Ilmor pkg. ???

Re: Merc 525's or 600's ???
 

I never got any real feedback on the 625hp Ilmor package. Maybe that motor is just too new. I want an honest 100mph Bravo drive boat, and it doesn't seem as though the new 600 Mercs will get me there as they are now. Hence looking at the Ilmors.

525s are still the safest bet. We'll see.

Re: Merc 525's or 600's ???
 

Scot Conrad's run a 39' Quattro with Ilmor MV10-625's (albeit with #6's). Give him a call.

Re: Merc 525's or 600's ???
 

Bespoke,

Who is Scott Conrad? I knew OL had built that boat for someone out in California to run in that Catalina ski race.

Thx.
