good point on the resale..only issue with merc 1075's is their crazy service intervals. If i knew the boat could go 135mph loaded with people (safely) and have good accelleration I'd go with the merc 700s...it just seems that whatever top speed a manufacture tells you is with special props/drive heights 2 gallons of fuel and 1 maybe 2 people in perfect water and air temp..not real world. Then you get the boat and its 10mph slower....it just happened to me with my daytona...so I sold it.
