ya..cause their better than the Cummins

seriously, on boats like this its all about user friendly.. Id rather have the beefed up lowers, and 300's vs the additional weight of the 350's..or even the 2 stroke Opti's..then add the Obama insult of having to use premium gas....or you could always follow Mid Night and put 5 on

.then add the Obama insult of having to use premium gas.


And don't forget to add the Obama diesel price insult. And the Obama insult of 911. And the Obama insult of killing bin Laden. And the Obama insult of job creation.

Best looking CC built so far IMO. I really like the wrap around console. Can you post some interior shots Terry. Carbon Fiber or plain vinyl?

I think the two strokes will use less gas but the oil is a real PITA. Factor in all of the other advantages and I'm four stroke every time.
