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.

[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 !
Dan , you got the graffix picked out yet ?
Show us a sneak peek will ya ???
Damn I need to go for a boat ride !!!!

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.

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

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.
Dank
