Upgrade to twin Merc 575SCi motors...$ay what?!
Anybody see in the new Powerboat the Performance Trials?
On the Donzi 33ZX, Upgrading to the 575's from the HP500's will cost you another $52,511.00!!!
And on the 38 Fountain going from a pair of 496Mag H.O.'s to the 575's your going to get hammered another $71,148.00!!!
All I know is that $50,000 will get you a pair of tall-deck blower motors in the 900HP realm.
If I ever was to buy new it would be with base package, or if it could come without any motors at all that would better yet!
Merc is WAY off their rocker...and unfortunately some will pay these ramsom fees for "more power" not knowing better.
very
!!!
Im guessing that the Tax bill for Lake-X is getting a bit stiff, or something.

On the east coast check out Kurts Marine and Pro marine, both in Brick NJ.
Kurt builds the motors for the Muscle Super Vee and many others. Promarine makes the power for Shockwave, Lightning Jacks and many others.
