i would hope so but there's not much hp difference between the 2 motor's most of the power will be felt in the mid range with the supercharger . this is only from what I have read with other boat's when they compare the 525 and the 600 motor's in a single application .
when I had my single 750hp 28 the best top speed was 84 mph with JO driving the boat after that I never saw that speed again .
did he get his boat yet ?

It will be a little quicker than that once we get it dialed in with the correct prop. Ran as much as a 30 pitch Hydromotive 4 blade tonight and was all over the rev limiter with mufflers on it. This boat has a sink and cooler option with a pump out head, complete cabin, nice sound system, GPS, Billet throttle, carbon series monster gauges, pop up indicators, Momo Trek wheel, etc. etc. It is not real light by no means but it will lay it down out in some rough water. I will take a video tomorrow while out in the ocean.
Going out in the ocean tomorrow. Handled perfect and turns on rails with the T.S. bottom. Rigging came out immaculate. We ran hoses from the dual intake naca ducts on the custom engine hatch close to the K&N air filter for better performance. According to the Mercury Racing factory rep. there is only a 2-3 MPH difference between the 600 SC package and the 525 EFI ( 560 HP on the dyno ) but it does accelerate strong in the mid range even in the hot and humid temps late this afternoon. You can also do quite a few modifications on the 600 SCI model to bump the HP an additional 100 - 150 HP.
Here are a few cockpit pics. Looks bad azz !

I'm on the way to sea trial with Jo and Pepe😊The 2 motors are close, but the ITS should make a little it run a couple mph better.
