My biggest concern on the 8.2L boat with Axius would be the lack of a tie bar on the Bravo III drives. That is a lot of boat to be pushing around with the drives not tied together. Has to play hell on the gimble rings.

So, you have the blue 40 Skater that was at H Toad's the morning of the SOTPR? Beautiful boat!!! Love the steps built into the deck/hull between the drives.

Yes I do, and thank you! That also explains why I have a hard time getting excited about cruisers.

Diesels are the way to go on the 400SS sweet spot for cruising is same as gas boat around 40 MPH Much faster and the blender falls over. Gas in a 370. Bens boat is screw new. If I had room on the dock down here I would be all over it

I looked at a "new" demo 400ss with 8.2's and Axis controls yesterday. Not sure of the hours, probably around 20. Titled and warrantied as new but yet two model years old. Hardtop, most options.
What would it be worth?
If I had any sort of u clue I wouldn't ask here.
I'm not looking for opinions on this or other similar boats, just an idea of this boats value.
Thanks!!!

You'll be hard pressed to find a cleaner, more well kept boat than Slowride's 400SS. Diesels are the only way to go in that boat IMO.

yeah but who buys a 400SS to go 40

525's are the way to go, who wants to be the boat that everyone is waiting for?
Granted 60mph isn't that fast but sure better than 50.

You still need a ride in the OL.
