KE's giving you trouble Jeff? Maybe you should just order a pair of 1100/1300 Sterlings with shiftable crash boxes and Number 6s on your 42/44/46 footer...that might satisfy your speed and reliability numbers (plus you'll be faster than Dan's 46)!!! 
Just last night I was digging under the couch cushions looking for change to eak just a little more out of my LITTLE 496.

Whip it, whipple it good Boat freak
Miller, I had the boat approx 1 month, put 5 hours on it, so now a total of 13 after the Sarasota PR, and out of the 5 times I went out we broke down 4, distributors breaking, comp. efi problems, and trying to get the motors fixed was like pulling teeth. Total Marine in LA.thank god did the repairs calling KE except the efi programs cause KE wound not send the program, so Pat got it next and KE personally told him to fix it, now he wont pay A.T., aint that the sh*t. Then said if it breaks again don't call me. They are warrenteed buddy, thats what attorneys are for. I know of 4 other people that have had problems with their motors lately. Its unfortunate, they have one of the best names in the business. They finally did fix it, reprogrammed the efi, put new distributors in and welded them properly, and put a breather valve in so when put in neutral it won't die, the port motor won't use twice as much gas, and the excessive transom residue should be reduced, we will see when I get it, Pat said it runs great, hopefully I can enjoy my boat. Sounds to me not enough r&D, and no one hangs up on me or I should have to leave 4 messages for Brett at KE, without a return phone call.

I gotta come clean !!!!
My conscience won't leave me alone, and in January you would find out anyway. I am not getting whipples or sportmaster drives. Like you guys believed I would anyway. I just want to cruise at 60 and I think the 500's will do that just fine. Besides, I cannot afford the darn things.
I got you to talk though didn't I
LP: What have you done that I would need whipples to deal with ?
