New to this brand...
I am moving/living on Perido Key (Pensacola), Florida. I want a nice lookin go-fast twin, 65mph boat for Gulf of Mexico and Key West cruising. It must have a inside head (wife insists).
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Tom

Why do you want a twin?
More fuel, hard to work on, double the service, two drives to maintain, a little bit more speed...... A well maintained single you can rely on, there's plenty out there, will get you on the water in comfort and will still achieve the speed you're after.
Not trying to talk you out of twin power, just suggesting that singles are good too.

I appreciate the comments! I recognize the single/dual engine conundrum...BUT I am looking at this boat as more of a fast GT (car...like an AMG) not a Hayabusa (motorcycle). I am kinda used to two engines and additional complexity/thirst...I was a Tomcat RIO (Goose from the movie Top Gun).

And since these boats do not come with ejection seats...I'm looking for twin motors.
