That motor has some visual wow factor to me. Looking forward to seeing it run this weekend in Xcat

Hey 28, I was down in Key west when they unveiled the new 400ROS and spoke with the Merc guys about it. They said it gained about 8 to 10 hp in the change. The exhaust is different and I would imagine it has less mass to turn. Powerhead is the same but the prop horsepower is up.

It's amazing what you can put a 28 skater through.

Yes that's for sure!! I have been in some Rough Water in my 28Skater in the Atlantic and the Gulf...and would often think...

David, been meaning to ask. I'm guessing your platform is the Eddie Marine version "billet". Did you get a 12 degree, or a 16 degree, and is it 18" or 24"?

I called and talked to Peter about degree of transom, and I'm more confused now than when I called.

TIA.
