I put a new 12k in my mainship forward stateroom last year about $1250, looking at replacing the 16k in the main salon this year.

the main thing had had to deal with on performance boat apps is the water pickup, most do not want to add a scouped thruhull(understandably) without this style will loose prime to pump when you run, so you have to bleed everytime you use, can be a pain we set up with a bleed valve now and makes it easy
