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.

That 28 is so cool with the windshield on it for sure!! Great for girls with long hair like Tristans . By the way Ron thanks for the great job installing the new stereo and GPS in the 46 Double Take!! Worked and looks great!!!

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.
