370ss owners

Looking at buying a 370. Just curious about ride vs. a 400ss. I run at LOTO, it's rough! I foud one I like, but I don't want regrets.

I have an interst in a 400 but with 525's...do they eat drives as much as they say?

We have only sold one w/525`s but have had no problems with drives as of yet. The boat has about 100 hrs. on it but the customer also changes the drive lube twice or more a year. the boat is an 07 model........................

Hey redbud, Thank you for dropping by today and getting me out of the office. I hope your family enjoyed the boat ride. Once again I am sorry about the full enclosure being up but who would guess 78 degrees on Nov.7 at the LOTO...............

Like a log wagon compared to a power boat! No really it rides/handles very nice. They are a great alternative to what I have know.

400's are rough on drives. Your talking about over 17k pounds your moving. Go with the 370. I have an 01' with 500's and it rolls out pretty good. I cruise 46.7mph at 3900(gps) and I've hit 65 at 5k rpm with a little more to go. I put a set of the xr 4blade/3blade props (27p labbed). What a difference
