Very true. We chose speedmaster. the boat actually handled better. My prop was my saviour though. Mercury props were terrible. I bought a bronze Michigan OJ prop that looked like a chopper.. Marcel Raveau beat on it all the time.. I used it on the 800 and 1000 also. Same boat. Lucky to have never thrown a blade.

This is fun, this takes me back... My best friend back in high school ran Sport G in Region 6 from the '74 to the '77 seasons. Did pretty well as I recall. He and his dad went out to Colorado to to get the boat, it was a Marathon tunnel, and it seems like the OAL was 16-16.5'. He started with a '74 850 short, then in the '75 season is when the XS's were available, so he switched to that.
As mentioned, same unit as the 1500 except with 2.33/1 gears. As far as props, his were all cleavers, at least a couple were Mercury but I don't believe they all were. I know they had all been "worked" by one of a couple known prop wiz's in the region.
Seems like straightaway speeds were in the upper 70's. The kilo record was probably in the low 80's at the time.Barry
