    I think if both are set up correctly they should be about the same on top end...

    Speeds also depend on what lower unit is on each brand motor, and the year of the motors.

    Historically the mercs have been 1-2 mph faster but the sho is stronger everywhere else by a long shot. Now that people are learning to get the sho up high and spin them the top end gap has closed and if the trx hull likes a sho/bravo combo the sho will be quicker on top.

    The new Merc V8's will redefine what a bass boat engine should be.
