i was told by my amigo phil bergeron of bergeron marine here this:
if ya wanna go fast...................buy a fountain.
if ya wanna have creature comforts and a better ride..............buy a formula.
dont buy anything with a 496,575SC 600 or 700's. if ya do.................dont bring it here!
dont be a jerk.........................BUY A MERC!
by the way phil wrenched on the formula team boats(all of them) and has been heavily involved in IHBA top fuel CAPSULE BOATS!
525EFI's are plug and play baby. com-putter read out everything ya wanna know about history of engines. hottest temps, over -rev's, hours blah blah blah.
my time is so damn limited when i finally spring for mine, i dont wanna wrench. i wanna cruise putt putt haul azz ski/tube,fish drink excessive amounts of beers,bar-b-que and RELAX!
and ........................get a 10 day weather forecast, read the clouds, and not EVAR be out in a freeking monsoon storm with lightning blasting everywhere around us. and sometimes as much as ya try like hell no matter how fast yer boat is............ya just cant race a storm quick enough to either beach it or dock it.
oh yeah.................it really pays in spades to own all of yer scuba gear and be a certified diver, be it ocean or fresh water, so in the event of any hull damage or a prop strike or fouling yer props on crap and being able to clear them or repair damage. comes in damn handy cleaning the hull of crap at the dock and when ya drop yer wifes wedding ring or her rolex overboard!
ARRRGGGGH THE PARROT says "YES"!
