So many powerboaters think that the SS formula is the answer when getting out of a go fast and moving to a cruiser, well it's not. Nice boats but they are not good at being a cruiser and not going to impress you in the performance department after having that badazz flatdeck. Outdrive suck Not enough room Not fast enough for a thrill Etc. The only Formula I personally like is the 40PC and the 48 sport yacht LOL, I pretty much disagree with everything you just said. Coming from 47 Lightning to a 400SS and I couldn't be happier. My boat doesn't sit in the water and I have the option to go anywhere I want when ever I want. We all have different boating desires. |

I`d get a slip but I still want to:
1. not take 2 hours to go 40 miles 2. be able to bring it home for winter storage and maintenance/repair 3. Be able to tow it to a new destination couple times a year I like the idea of Diesels and shaft drive , not ready to go that slow yet. |

I`m leaning towards a Diesel now.

i take that back, seems to be on their website now. I just bought a 38 ec and I love it. The way that I look at it is; I maybe 20 minutes behind all my buddies, but I can have the blender cranking out drinks, AC running, and 9 people that clam to be my friends!!

I'm sure Alex would check it out for Dan, but its a couple thousand miles away from where his shop is. Sucks, because I think he's well versed in diesels, and not just gas marine engines.

Not sure I've seen them in a 370. You are still dealing with outdrives with that setup. Jim Onken (Don's brother) had one at LOTO for a couple years. |
