Speed record has nothing to do with a motor that a weekend user just wants for going fast...;)

OMC's can be made competitive with mega bucks and mega effort, but to buy somethin' and just hang it on and go, there's no question that Mercs have the advantage. Merc has a 280 High Perf engine for light fast boats and a 300 plus (330 last I heard???) for bigger stuff, all with factory warranty's

I wouldn't count Merc and OMC out of that question either.
