Those monster engines can't be anything but top heavy.
Why exactly should I be happy that there's motors out for boats I don't want? How big is that check you get from the mercury propaganda department for posting here?[/QUOTE]

As I have said before, if you haven't run one then you shouldn't make negative judgements or remarks because you really make yourself look foolish-

I am just an enthusiast that is passionate about the sport and consider my self lucky to be putting a boat together with a pair of the new V-8s. If I wasn't impressed I certainly wouldn't be saying anything. I was very negative towards the 400R in a single application and was not impressed with the performance results until Mike here on the board got his Eliminator running and Jim Dorris and his son also impress me with their 76 mph single 400R tri-toon.

Have fun hanging in the bay but watch out for the Bullet, Allison, and Stroker fishing boats that come trolling by. The days of picking on those guys are gone if they have one of the new motors "if you haven't heard".

You should make the trip up for one of our river runs-we usually have around 100 boats and run 75 to 100 miles per day. I will have my Allison at the next one.
