Pulled the trigger on a 2008 Heat
Just got home from Oregon Custom Marine, where I pulled the trigger on a wood-free, open-bow, 2008 Heat, with a 525 EFI. Both Kevin and Tim, have been extremely helpful and professional in helping me with my boat buying experience. I am stoked!!
I opted for the 525 package being that I am definately a performance oriented kind of guy.
Are the 525's still having problems with header issues? I am worried about some of the horror stories I have heard about leaking headers toasting motors.
Any guesses on top end speed?
My guess... about 78
Any info would be appreciated.

I ordered one out of the factory in Havasu. They didn't have an 08 open bow on the floor at OCM. Really like the idea of a all-composite boat. I am worried about my choice of power, as I have read some disturbing stories about the exhaust on the 525 EFI's .

My guess is ( depending on conditions of course) 73-76...
I've heard of much better but have never seen it with power in that range.
