Joe's boat is great, you also need to think about resale and a better motor will be better for resale. Plus the guy that has done his engine work is top notch (he's the guy that did the Nashville Cats Nortech. Also what does your wife and kids know about motors
, don't you control the throttle. We had a 40 Scarab and unless you get a real old Scarab the cabin room will never compare to a BT and that's really what I bet your wife will care about. Joe's boat is attractive, well kept and only a few hours drive to see, I think you are CRAZY not to consider it. OK now that's my humble opinion

The motors in Joe's boat are basically the same motors I had built in my 04 43 Nortech. Eddie Young built 598 CI 750 hp naturally asperated motors. Vertually industructable. Overbuilt and in the Nortech to date with many hours of use. I, also like Joe had #5's on my boat, which is way better than bravo's..A transmission is the way to go, and yes parts are readily available. Great combo, no blowers to worry about, and no drive issues, that's as reliable as it gets. GREAT BOATING. Jeff

Love the boat, motors and drives and diesel gen. Great package. Just wonder how the big boat rides and handles with a load on slow cruise with the 5s. Say 30 to 40 mph.
