They don't require that much power to beat the competition

Correct but I just figured someone would order one with the power.

sure do see a lot of skater's 1200+hp

It would be nice to see a skater with the Merc 1350's to have a high hp comparison between different builders. This would eliminate some of the builder + or - factor of hp.

So far no one has ordered one.I am sure if mercury wanted to see how much faster their motors were in a skater,and wanted to loan one out,I am sure Peter would oblige.
In the meantime,there will be plenty of 1350s in other boats at Desert Storm trying to beat the skaters.

I'd like to be on that list as well, but I don't see Merc giving too many 1350's away.
I can understand why someone would elect to go with other power $. I know it won't stop everyone some don't care what the price is, they just want what is latest greatest (good for them they make it interesting). Time will tell.
