The extra length does seem to be for the third screw. I just want good strong engines without many extras / expenses. I'm totally up in the air now about 353 or 382's

We do have it made down here. I left big money in cold Ohio to slow down and move to paradise. But the Real Estate market has tanked and taxes are a b**ch! That's the only reason I'm waiting so long to pull the trigger on a boat.
It's killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!

t500, I want a set of Blue motors also...just don't want to pay for them I didn't realize that he was talking about 525sc's......Blower motors are sweet sounding, and WHEN they run well they are great power plants.....just a Biatch to work with...........Mark, I live on Long Island NY.. I am fortunate enough to own a waterfront home. My property taxes are $24000 per year. Oh,.....it is 15degrees here today!! I am looking into a move to the Sarasota, Venice, Nokomis area......Eric

Holy s**t $24K! Nice home! I used to be a Custom Home Builder and designer, then Developer. Now have my Real Estate license down here as a start. If you want anything from Sarasota to Naples, please call me @ 239.789.7666.
I'll tell you, Naples is the place to be!
It's only 76 today - then low 80's through Monday
- your'e gonna hate me for that!

Mark, my House is only about 2200sq./ft.......i will keep your phone #.....I will probably need to live in the Sarasota area due to job requirements........E

It was a pleasure talkin to ya Eric! I look forward to meeting up with you & good luck with the interviews - say goodbye to the cold and snow!

I actually had a pair of 525sc's in a 34' Powerquest. They were good engines. Much better after I rebuilt & got the carb's dialed in. Actually lots of grief prior on the carbs.

The engines sounded great and the "whine" at high end was cool. It did drink the fuel. If I went 35 miles to the next port it seemed like I used 1/2 tank of fuel. So I was reluctant to cruise with friends.

Triples would be thirsty!

My buddy has a 92 419... great boat. I'm 6'2 " and I can stand up in the cabin. It's like a conference room in his cabin. Too much boat for me. He started out trailering, even bought an F450 to stop the thing. Also built a boat house for it. Now he slips it. Great ride though. I don't know about running on one engine.

Like wise Mark, I will be in touch next time I come south (hopefully a 1 way trip)

Sleek 1---Formula should increase the cabin headroom in the FasTech line,.....also massage the hull design and get a little more speed out of them. The 35 Donzi claims to be 10mph faster than the 353 with same power.....Hey John Adams, time to hit the drawing board !!!
