Catanium??

I would think that if you insisted to your dealer that you want a 200V with the ZR-450, or no sale, it might happen.

I was told ~$3k over the ZR-409... which I thought would put it closer to a $9k upgrade. Maybe pricing varies per region?

Any word on the SC 550?

12K over the standard engine. MSRP.

550hp in a 200DD would definitely increase its fun factor! I'm assuming the hole shot and top end would be neck snapping.

I drove a 196 ski fly boat back in '03 when the were first playing around with the supercharged 6.0L. WOW!!! Was definitely borderline ridiculous as far as acceleration. Not sure on top speed as it ran out of lake but it did 50mph with the throttle 2/3 of the way down.

I drove a 1999 Ski Nautique with the 502 Python motor in it.
It was also a very impressive boat.

It has been well documented that the 196 is a faster boat than the 200, with the same engine.
