Never did , but a buddy got a quote for a 28 and it was very high . I guess I'm a risk taker , always have been .

cool , i wasnt trying to be pushy i just wanted to point out that in the insurance companies eyes , the 32 might be a whole lot different then the 28
plus i wanted to know for myself for future reference , i think a 32 with 2 big outboard is a cool set up , and it seems like over the past few years there have ben some 32's for low prices

insurance companies are wierd , i couldnt get ins for a 28 skater with 2 300x's but it was no problem to get insurance for a 23 cougar cat with 2 300x's , only $2400 a year to start , then they lowerd it the second year
skater had the speed for the 28 listed right on their website as 118 mph back then , it seems the insurance companies didnt like those numbers
plus a lot of 28's flipped , im guessing few 32 pleasure outboard skaters had flipped , plus you can claim it runs 95 mph and technically not be lying

Good luck they are 700 lbs each , If you dont like a 300 XS , you need to get out of boating !
What is the problem with the Sportmaster ?? I'm out of the loop , been running XR on my race boat
I did hear of a few minor problems that mercury say the fixed on the new 300 XSLast edited by Skater 32; 01-20-2009 at 12:21 AM.

I have simple logic , KISS , KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID , not directed at anyone here , just way buy a techno nightmare 4 stroke super charged when you can by th 300 XS ?
I have been boating for 25 years and raced with OPA for a few years , never trashed a gearcase , I truly think most cases of gearcase failure is driver error . IE , being not quick enough on the sticks

i was against 4 strokes at first , until i got my 4 stroke 250 hp jetski
it now has over 250 hours of the hardest kind of riding possible
constant long distance wot runs , jumping huge waves , on and off the throttle like your trying to break it
so far the motor is a beast and holding together like a mo fo
all this reliability from a 1.5 liter 250 hp motor
im waithing for a true supercharged performance 4 stroke outboard to come out
