Default Thoughts on 400r V10 on Cats

I am considering repowering my 2016 Skater 31 with 700 SCI/--Arensons. I have been on the search for low hour 450r's Fresh water/ with warranty. My engines are in the 175 hour range and have been prefect ,but I am a outboard guy and I hate the constant maintence---plus I like the idea of a warranty. I think my combos are worth $65K or so...... $90-100K for two new 450s while they last and a little less for the 400Rs. $140K or so for 500Rs---would be great but not for 50K extra.

Why havent we seen any Cats with 400Rs? 40 lbs total more then the V6 version?

Thoughts?

Used 450s are a deal right now coming from the guys upgrading.

400s certainly look good new price wise at just over half the cost of a 500R.

I think Mystic has done a cat with the 400’s.

Someone just rigged a 32 DW with the 400 V10's - I'd love to know how that's running.
