525 w/xr was around 25K each so call it 50K plus steering
1000hp w/ #6 was like 80ish
1000hp= lots o' upkeep
525=warrenty
#6= bullit proof
xr= rebuild based on your ease of use

I ment the XR isn't going to last forever... Some guys have better luck then others... But the 525's are popping drives also, not as much as the 575sc-600sc but there are still problems for merc to fix...

Hey Rob,
I don't think we're going to fit two BBCs in a 30' Super so lets talk SBCs...
Merc. 320HP/6.2 with a Bravo drive is about 16K.
Add a Whipple kit to get close to 500HP for another 6K.
I don't think it's necessary, but if you insist Gary, upgrade to an XR, add 3K.
25K per side, the same as a big-block package.
50K total for 1000HP worth of engines and drives; Is that a lot of $$?
I guess not compared to 80K for a single 1000 and #6 drive...

I still think it's the way to go. You guys are'nt thinking of the additional expense of Bigblocks.
Custom engine hatch $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deck and liner has to be modifyed, major glasswork$$$$$$$
**Twin smallblocks- No modifications, Major savings !!$

But a single 1000 hp setup should go faster than a 2 engine setup equalling 1000hp, right? You have one less drive in th ewater and you have less weight. Therefore, couldnt you go with about 800-900 hp to equal the twin setup? Maybe you wouldnt need a #6.
