at ~650 Lbs it should be a good solution but................it weighs 25% more than the 300XS and makes 25% more power.........:hmm

Or just fix yours and keep on running it. I've always liked your boat and its setup. Really a great combination.

Thank you sir! Funny, when I first saw that boat up for sale never in a million years did I think I would own it. I've been told the previous owner had many, many offers and refused them all. I literally felt like he was vetting me before he accepted my offer. I still keep in touch with him from time to time. He's a member here, but doesn't post. I need to find the pic of the boat in his huge garage. I think it was parked on carpet. Almost like a trophy on the mantle. Good times!!

So when is the new engine going in? Is it going to be ready for summer?

Highly unlikely, unless a miracle happens. But a few have happened recently, so you just never know :D

The price tag on the 557 alone is enough to scare people off. Concept had a 44' CC at Ft. Lauderdale with a pair of the 557's on the back. Top of the line boat. The price increase going to the 557's over 3 300 Mercs was over $200K and it was about 4 mph faster overall. $50K/mph? That's a big step.

Even odds but I bet the extra HP more than makes up for the weight.

RR, do they have any idea how fast that thing will run with the twin 400s.

BTW, MTI is coming out with a mid 30'something Cat with outboards, I guess they're going to compete against DCB.
