Has anyone heard these run yet? Turbos should make them fairly quiet around the docks.

Wink Noise is not the Issue!

Talk to someone at Cigarette. They are the only one so far who has taken delivery and set them up in their new AMG model. I don't know if the boat has even splashed yet!
It should be fairly quiet with the turbo's as compared to older blower motors of equivalent or close power.
If you don't have the $400K plus for two engines and drives for a boat, I wouldn't even worry yourself about whether they are quieter, I would worry what bank I was going to rob to pay for them!

Best Regards,
RAY @ RAYLAR

Yea, really. I've put my $60k down on a pair of blower motors, and that's definitely all I'm able/willing to pay. Just curious in the high dollar stuff for the sake of conversation like 95% of the rest of us.
