What are you planning on spending for that set up?
I am a current magic deckboat owner and I am looking at getting a newer 28' deck w/ bigger power. I want to get the mercury 700 sci. I wanted to get opinions and feedback on the setup and if anyone has any first hand experience w/ the motor.
I understand that there are motors that cost less and have more power w/ the same reliability. I am just doing some homework on this particular motor for now.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...

Life in Havi is good. You may have yourself a deal on that Andy! I will think about it and get back to ya!
I would do some price comparisons. Check into what a Teague 800 will run. Might give you more power for less.

I would do some research. I was going to run the new 700 in my new boat, but went with the Teague 800. The Merc 700 was like $2000-3000 more. The NXT Drive is bad ass, but from what I have seen and heard the 700 is not much different than the 600. It has a taller intercooler. I have also heard from a reputable builder that was rigging one say they are a pain in the ass to rig.

Let me know brother, I might even drop a few K off of that for you if you are interested. Have a good one......

Anytime. That is what we are here for. Good luck and keep us posted on your decision. Either direction you go you can't really go wrong. Both make a great product and you are going to hear good and bad about both. In the end you have to go with your own gut. I would get a spec sheet on both motors and compare what they have in them. I think you will see Teague has alot higher quality parts in his motor. In my opinion I think the ultimate setup between the two would be the Teague 800 with the new Merc NXT Drive hanging off the transom, but that is not available.
