What would be a similar twin engine setup to the 600 package and what would it run with like twin 502hos at 860 total hp? Ol builds vee bottoms that are as fast or faster than catamarans

All I can say is 102 MPH or 101 MPH, Mike Fiore and the OL Team did a great job on the OL SV29. Congrat's!

The 900hp 90 mph seems a tad slow too. Those are just examples I pulled off of powerboatlistings for comparisons sake.

Mercury is allowing market to decide the fate of the 600 by how many they sale. The 565 was not available at the time of the build and the customer wanted the 600.

Yes, PCM cal voids warranty. Its under warranty, I can guarantee that. In fact, Mercury Racing engineers rode in the boat and brought a new PCM with a Rev limit update. The change was instead of fuel cut, its spark cut because this boat wants to go so much faster and keeps hitting the limiter that it was much safer while testing gear/prop combos. With 5 rather healthy guys in the boat, 50+ bud lights and ice, anchors, ice chest, 90deg F outside, the boat still went 96mph and was climbing. This is a very fast V-bottom and its handling is unlike any boat I've ever been in. I can't say I've been in all of the similar boats, but from the ones that I have, this is simply night and day. One can say all they want about it, but you have to ride in it to truly appreciate it the performance of this boat.

We just installed a SC on a 27 Eliminator open bow, it ran 105mph and that has 775-800hp and weather was in the 60-70deg F range. Closed bow would run 4-7mph faster. But thats got almost 200 more hp.

We've done a bunch of 25 and 26 with 496's and SC's, roughly 600-625 and they go low to mid 90's.
