Ok lets all do the math, example # 1, say 1, 1000 HP ( All brands Merc. JCPERF, ETC. ) And a # 6 Drive, How Much ???.................example # 2, say two 500 HP ( All brands ) and two bravo XR's How Much ???

525 w/xr was around 25K each so call it 50K plus steering

1000hp w/ #6 was like 80ish

1000hp= lots o' upkeep
525=warrenty
#6= bullit proof
xr= rebuild based on your ease of use

500 hp on a XR would be a strong PKG, never heard of a 100 hour rebuild on an XR ????

I ment the XR isn't going to last forever... Some guys have better luck then others... But the 525's are popping drives also, not as much as the 575sc-600sc but there are still problems for merc to fix...

Hey Rob,
I don't think we're going to fit two BBCs in a 30' Super so lets talk SBCs...

Merc. 320HP/6.2 with a Bravo drive is about 16K.
Add a Whipple kit to get close to 500HP for another 6K.
I don't think it's necessary, but if you insist Gary, upgrade to an XR, add 3K.
25K per side, the same as a big-block package.
50K total for 1000HP worth of engines and drives; Is that a lot of $$?
I guess not compared to 80K for a single 1000 and #6 drive...

I still think it's the way to go. You guys are'nt thinking of the additional expense of Bigblocks.
Custom engine hatch $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deck and liner has to be modifyed, major glasswork$$$$$$$

**Twin smallblocks- No modifications, Major savings !!$

But a single 1000 hp setup should go faster than a 2 engine setup equalling 1000hp, right? You have one less drive in th ewater and you have less weight. Therefore, couldnt you go with about 800-900 hp to equal the twin setup? Maybe you wouldnt need a #6.

I would go with a JC Perf 900hp and an Imco Drive. Oh wait that is what I did. Can't wait to see some of you guys on the water this summer.........

Titan, come to the Superfest !!!

I was speaking to JCPerf yesterday about that. I just might have to stop down. Next Sat. night right?
