I have had all three and would get another 36 in a second.
Look at who is winning in SC Lite. If there were rough water races the skaters would be taking there share of the victories.
I can remember the first MTI, it delaminated at every rough water race.
Look who wins Key West.

and as far as key west goes, there is only 2 boats racing SCL right now, so you got a 50/50 chance of being right, the real cats will be in St Pete that weekend....

Of course Mercury racing won't allow that !
They would rather sacrifice ALL racing , as we know it ,just to keep they're High $$$$ motors in production with no competition .
The day's of Mercury racing controlling ,and holding down progress in ANY offshore application are coming to a close.
They (merc) build an excellant product , So also do many other's . Let the other's back in and the price for a superior motor package will decrease . Along with greater innovation.

i think pro marine won some races with sterling power last year... and reliable won orange beach this year (yes they were dq'd) popeyes/whm/pro marine have 4 seconds between them this year with sterlings.... (CRC has pretty much dominated SC in OSS... and i don't think it is the motor, but the hull and drivers and the same for bacardi...)
