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. I don't even have a outboard on my duck hunting boat. Its got a Go-Devil on it. Thats a real outboard.

Why does this make me think of a Black Thunder?

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.

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