I currently have 525sc's in my boat and would definitely consider these motors as a replacement if needed. The HP with light weight combo is a nice thought.

Neat package but the old saying goes "There is NO replacment for displacment" LS motors always needed rpm to make HP and tq is up high also. IMO I would run Big Block unless you add boost. Then little motor change its personality.

The 570 Ilmor boat continues to accumulate running hours as a factory boat. Don't know why it (apparently) hasn't sold. The 565 boat is very much completely missing in action...
