Rat,,,can u clear some space in your PM box ??? LOL

If I raced that class I would pay more attention to their rules. I don't and don't. Thanks for the correction.

You'd be real good in that class with Martin on throttles. It's made for you guys.....

I'm also trying to figure out if their rules for their 525's make sense in the long run for all 525 classes. Including SVL.

Factory sealed is better in my mind.

SVL's go fast enough. Slightly warmed means another 4 or 5 mph to me. If the course were all in open water like Sarasota this year top speed in our class wouldn't matter.

Don't mess with SVL we all agree.

I'm just thinking long term. Sealed 525's may get awfully expensive down the road. And scarce.....

OK,OK,OK,,,,now please slow down ,,i am getting dizzy ansewring on 4 threads here ,,could we plaese stay om one or maybe 2 ??? LOL:rofl:

As soon as you open them up you need a dyno to check them. Seems to me no matter what the specs are someone will spend enough to have an advantage. It is a whole lot more fun to test your way to more speed than power your way.

Make the race about challenging the seas instead of winning the sprint to turn ONE.

Mercury will rebuild and reseal an engine. You can still buy new ones (and with the current economy, I doubt they are planning a replacement anytime soon).

 

[Sean H]

forgot about those. LOL
Sealed !!

750's aren't sealed, actually to tech those correctly, it is quite extensive.

850's are pretty straight forward, check pulley size and ecu (the rest is Mercury sealed).

Then you also have gear ratio, skegs, weight and props to check.

Thanks,,,wasn't shure about the 750's.

Don't the 750's dyno around 900 to as much as 930?

around 815-825, the term "750" has just stuck I guess. :sifone:

your right i spent about 10,000 dollars to go from 60 to 95 in ??? seconds

George , How many seasons do you have on that engine?

I know you told me but, I forgot.

under the loyalty program merc will rebuild a 525 for about 8000 and reseal it

I thought they made more. Do they still turn them 7800?
