I don't have any updates yet. I will be goin' by the factory this Thursday to get some pics and get a status. JC should've completed the interior by now...not sure though.
Question: the 34 has 400 gal of fuel. If I were to go with a pair of 300XS two strokes, how much oil should I be carrying on board to use up all of the 400 gal of fuel? Any idea?

Noli the 2 stroke rule of thumb is a gas/oil ratio of 50:1.....given your 400 gallon fuel capacity to run through that 400 gallons of fuel you will need roughly 8 gallons of oil Capacity....i think the Merc oil tanks are about 3 gallons each...i dunno if they make larger ones...
i think Verados are the way to go on that boat as they produce more real world Torque than the 300xs motors...

It will splash hopefully in June. Just would like to see the 34 completed first before giving any dates. The interior is all that is needed. I was told that 2 weeks is all that is needed, but...
Rick, any updates to the 34 since I went there last week?
