I dont consider 60-62 mph as underpowered from 496s in a boat you can stand up in to take a shower, and all those other options.

This pic is awesome..... Now what do you guys think is the REAL money on one of these bad boys, 2007, with less than 100hrs

Good info to know, I have not seen one up close. I was just going by what people with 40 OL's were saying. Also know a guy with a 42' with triples that hits the waves pretty hard. Did not know that one was a lemon.

That's comparing apples to oranges. There is no comparison.

I have a buddy with one with 525 EFI's in it, runs around 70. I think over all he's been happy with it.

It seems like to most of the guys around here if your not running at least 70 your slow.

I would think for the size and weight of the boat 525's would be a better choice.

Hey, you don't even have a Baja anymore, what are you doing in this section?

Still like the boats. I wasn't being a smartass about apples and oranges. Just meant they are totally different boats.

Agree, for such a large and heavy boat they just don't handle the ocean well when it gets rough out.

Redbud (Alex) was refering to LOTO, might as well be the Ocean with all the cruiser wakes.

Choice between a 405 and a 400ss No comparison, more like comparing apples to peanuts. The 400ss is an awesome boat, got the best of everything and moves, should get 50+ with 496 HO's alot of boat, much bigger than the 405. What kind of boating are you going to do. I'm sure the 400ss is 50k more.

What prices do you have on the two boats. ????
