What's up Tood, my good friend is buying a 40ss right now. We're going to pick it up April 30th in Detroit. His has 525's and is suppose to run 62 mph. I don't think there's any negatives to these boats, pretty cool looking cruiser. Let me know if you want to come check it out when he gets it home.

Todd, you coming over to the cruiser side? I really enjoy mine. There is a 370ss next to my cruiser (it might be a 400ss) that has Volvo Penta IPS drives. Looks pretty Bas A$$.

Great boats, been on one with 502s, ran very well and handles surprisingly nimble for its size. The cabin layouts are very user friendly. The boat I was on is now up for sale at Ivancic Marine in Cleveland, check it out it is extra clean and all maintenance up to date.

Going on the 3rd summer. Nothing spectacular, but it is nice to just head to the marina with everything already there. Beers cold in the fridge, liquor is in its carousel, AC going, full kitchen, bathroom and a flat screen. If things get to carried away in GH I have a place to crash. It's a great party barge.

Hope to see you out soon, I just fired up the Scarab and ready to go.
