It certainly should be fast with 500 hp on tap! I suppose it all depends on how efficient the hull and pump designs are, though. I'd imagine holeshot will be incredible either way. I'd also imagine that fuel consumption will be very high for owners who use the full power frequently. Twin 200s might be the sweet spot - 400 hp is still nothing to sneeze at and more than is available on the vast majority of I/O boats in this size range.
