Thats one of the best assesments of boating for us upper middle class guy's...that I've heard of...:cool-smiley-011:

Ok guys... I had twin 275 Verados on my CC and 525EFI in my AT. The first year cost on my twin 275 Verados was more than my 525EFI’s CC. The CC got 2mpg and the AT gets 1.80 at cruise. The Verados take premium and the 525EFI takes 87. Gas was 4 % more on the verados hour for hour. Next, the oil change cost of the verados is twice that of the 525EFI.


Finally the twin 525EI cost 20K more than the twin Verado package, add another 18K for the third verado. Do you know how much that is when you finance it? I also put the 4 year extended on the 525's so who cares.

Who ever thinks the outboards are considerably cheaper is dreaming. Now let’s compare trip Verado’s to 525’s. It becomes marginal cost vs. marginal benefit!!!! We are arguing dollars and cents. That’s my .002.

I had a 32' Skater with triple outboards. Biggest nightmare i've ever owned. Only good phucking thing about it was it would plane and run 50 on 2 motors which was 2 out of every 3 weekends. :hitfan: I don't even have a outboard on my duck hunting boat. Its got a Go-Devil on it. Thats a real outboard. :p

Pfffft. That's still easy. Just put ALL of them on your boat like ActiveShack did. I don't think he left ANY of them out. :evilb:

I got on the GoDevil website, and observed for a while. Those things are awesome!! :D I think they need an AVH bottom though. We may need to run yours on the Jammin' '08.

LOL I would but it stays down at Knotts Island,NC where my duck blinds are at.

Still believe a 28AT with O.B.'s would be the deal. Don't remember anyone mentioning the weight savings...635lbs vs 12-1300 lbs. each motor...should SCREAM!! Perfect for rivers,lakes, and offshore. Trailerable, cheap filling station fuel, easy maintenance(a step stool)area(quicker/cheaper) besides so NOSTALGIC:D:D

A 28 with a pair of Big Horse Verados on a bracket......Now that sounds like fun:cool-smiley-011:

Will lost his chance to have one of the baddest offshore boats, But it has a new home in Nashville. Going to be sad to see her go.

We have been working on the Miami Boat Show boats and getting ready for the Poker Run.

This is still an Active project, and will be re-engaged after the boat show. Are you coming down? Lets have a chat about it.

I won't be down for the show unfortunately , but I will be in Florida checking out a few boats in early march . I am still interested in something like this ... a sportboat with outboards ... however, I have been swayed a little recently , and am also wondering if the 525 / XR route is going to work for me just as well as far as RELIABILITY goes !?!?!?
