Thanks all! We are hoping to learn it, respect it, and have alot of fun along the way 
Ran-Dom 32, CraneHillFast, yes buying it half and half will be a test but we've been through alot with cars and etc, I'd rather throw the money away than the friendship. We just decided it's 50:50, whatever happens...it only costs half!
McProDesign et al, yes we open the hatch and run it awhile before shutoffs to avoid heat soak.
TRL505 we plan on keeping it awhile, but economy is bad so I have no doubt getting, keeping, and running is hard these days!
BeakBoater: no vent tubes on drives yet, would like to see what getting the Whipple reflash does for the down low. I don't expect it to pop right up on plane, just not to act like it's got a horrid lean miss or not "on the cam" til 3100 rpm!
Might even ask for a Stage 1 WITHOUT the RPM limit bump, to maintain lower rpm and higher engine/valvespring longevity.
The Marine Surveyor hit 105mph, Fountain's test speed, during his survey...hope I can do the Wurlitzer of drive/planes/driving to get close to that someday. Not yet!
And with a "Enjoy Your Boat" from "Reggie"...can't ask for more than that
It maneuvers nicely at low speed, the twin engines is so nice vs single!
The open exhaust is kinda loud for the river, it came with 3 mufflers (would have to find a matching 4th).
Any "consensus" on "Best Flowingyet Quietest" mufflers, or something made to fit the boat without falling off?
