Re: Superboat Speeds ???
Yesterday, Picked up my new to me , 89 SB 24 w 300 OMC.
Within the first 5 minutes of clearing the channel I had 68 mph @ 5900 Rpm but no GPS yet, Nick was claiming more when I went to meet him w the truck. I'll wait to vote until I have a GPS to back it up.

Call Whipple, they can help you make the changes required for 700-800 HP.
From what I have read, the XR can handle 700HP. At 800HP, well we'll see how Faster makes out.
No mini 6, for the $$ for one, you can have 2 or 3 spare Bravo XRs...

No I don't know for sure that Whipple has an upgrade for the Merc. 600.
However, the supercharger that Whipple uses is essentially the same as the one on your 600.
Like you said, the problem is with the electronics Merc uses, the PCM03 and smart-craft stuff...
I have heard that Whipple can reprogram the Merc 496s and now the 525. If they can do the 525, they can do your engine as well.
Call Dustin at Whipple, he will give you the straight scoop...\

Re: Superboat Speeds ???
Thanks Pat I will make all the connections to unleash the rest of the 600's reserve power for next year...............I'm sure that bump will put her in the 90's !!!!!!! I'm still not to sure about the drive though, remember we did an upper gear change this past summer on merc's tab.
