Having ridden on the (Volvo) diesel-powered boats, I'd love to try turning one of them up about 100 hp. They run 50+, yet are supposedly only 370 (crank) hp!! There's already a 435 hp version of the same engine (for use with IPS) and that drive's almost as big as a #6, too.

Hey Spicy! I've got a freshly-refurbished 382 you can have in about 5 years. In the meantime, maybe we could work out a weekend exchange program, preferably one weekend when the weather's really crappy.....:D

Hey C-spray the diesel 400 IS my favorite boat to drive in the SS lineup and I have sold three in the last few years and have a customer in the works for a new 09 boat. cruising at 38 mph and burning a third of the fuel a gas boat does is a trip!..............:cool:



BUT........... The 45 Yacht is a blast 35,000 lbs that drives like a runabout, loves to cruise at 32 mph and will run close to 40 with the right conditions. What a trip!.....................

No problem.... We were out on it last night until midnight, went to dinner with six people, just kicked back relaxing after dinner at the docks then croozed home, nights like that and I want to keep it??? I wish I could afford it I would just go and buy a cat and keep both of them...
