Merc 700, who has em???
Any OSOer's running the new package. What are the pros and cons? I haven't heard too much since Miami Boat show last year.

We just got our 43' Donzi ZR in with them and the NXT drives, WOW!
What a nice set up. The only down fall I can see is you having to run the 92 or better octane fuel in them. They sound awesome, idle at 750 in neutral and 700 in gear. The transmissions are a little bit on the stiff side to shift but so are some older Bravo's. We had the boat at the Annapolis boat show this past week, it brought a lot of attention.

My Customer Mike has one of the first 38ZRs 700 Package, he has about 40 hours and we just ran the Sarasota Poker run, full tanks, 3 guys and gear and we cruised at 92 MPH and ran 105 Topped out, so far he has had no problems and he loves his boat.
