Really.
I am due for a rebuild after next summer so why not put that money towards 700s and keep my Sterlings for the next owner if he wants to go back to that.
Again, not looking for 150mph. Would rather have a boat that goes 115 and
1) Starts every time
2) Is easy to dock
3) Runs on pump gas
4) Doesn't break by just looking at it wrong.
5) Goes several hundred hours between rebuilds
There are plenty of 40'+ MTIs (including new ones) with 525s and 700s so what would be wrong with putting them in a Skater? Do they weigh too much?

The problem I see with 700's or 525's is the cruising RPM. You are going to run the piss out of them just to keep that big tunnel packed. Maybe gears will fix it, but then you have a pig when it comes to acceleration.

I have not idea on your question about build numbers. However from what I have heard declawed is not used much so I bet it could be bought if you were interested
