Thanks guys! My wife and son saw it for the first in person Sunday and they were in awe. It's a significant upgrade from our 2008 25 Citation with a 496HO! LOL.

Sure do! Just need to get some turn downs figured out now to keep the fish-cops off my back.

I had turn downs on my previous boat, but found I couldn't make them work with a staggered setup. I ended up doing GGB insert mufflers in the tips. It's enough of a reduction that I didn't have any looks last summer. I also drop down to one engine when the noise police are in the no-wake zones.

Thanks Kelly O! I can't tell you how many times I have looked at pics of your boat and watched your YT vids. Yours must be a real monster with 600's!
