The Verados are awesome.......1.7 mpg at 50 mph.....we ran hard for two days and used 70 gallons of fuel. From 50 mph up to 75 mph the acceleration is impressive. Mercury has a new 5 year warranty on Verados.

That is impressive. For anybody that actually puts hours on their boat (nothing against the 20 hrs a year guys) the CC looks to be the way to go. What sort of warranty do those Verados come with?

Stand up head under the CC?

Head will be in the cabin and yes we're going to build an open bow and pleasure deck. It took us 3 years to make this happen. Talk about stress...but it's worth every ounce of pain!
