Default Anyone have some good pics of a Merc SC800

looked around online but all pics I found were small.
Building an SC800 clone using SC800 supercharger setup and a 540 tall deck Dart
and wanted to see what the real thing looked like..

past speeds
stock 454 mag 60mph
homebuilt 509,stock heads , HP500 carb+intake,custom hp500 style cam i ran 69 fully fueled , two people.. 4 blade Bravo 24p 5000rpm

with the 509,stock heads,custom hp500 style cam and Weiand 256 at 5lbs I ran 78 fully fueled and two people 5000rpm, 82 just me and running on fumes and revving engine past the cams powerband.. 5400rpm Hydromotive P5 27p ,with no fuel prop was slipping due to boat running further out of water,I have a high X

not bad for a 5500lb straight bottom 27 resin bucket with a single

now I will be running 540, Brodix aluminum heads, same cam as above, SC800 blower (B&M420) at 5lbs
and probably a 30p five blader Cam will kill power around 4800-5000 , dont want a bigger cam as I still run a stock 22 year old Bravo! I have also added AC for the cabin and will be doing some flat panels in the cabin, some more stereo and another battery (have 3 now) so I am adding another 2-300lbs .

I will be happy with a solid 85 with fuel and two people.
I almost never top it out, why I like the blower is how easy it planes, the rush from from 30-70 and the fact it cruises 55-60 without breaking a sweat.
