Welcome!
I bought my 340 new in 2009 as my first power boat and it has been a great experience. The 340 is fast to actually go places, gives you ample room to sleep several people comfortably for overnight stays and has a nice aft seating area. The boat is pretty much bullet proof and has...
Some problem here and I plan on changing the impeller tonight. Couple of questions:
- You have good water flow, but is it hot?
- When you changed the impeller, was it in one piece? Could it be that you have some pieces of the old impeller stuck inside?
- If you have a Control Panel, what...
Good luck! I found a webcam where you can check the water level in the bay:

Considered pulling the boat but decided to stay in the water, double up the lines and give them extra slack instead. Hauling the boat on LBI would have meant storing it at a 2-3 ft elevation. I figured that with the expected flooding it would float right off the blocks. My slip is very...
We stayed at Farley State last night and had not problems with power on H Dock. Is the place a dump? No, but like the rest of Atlantic City it has seen better times (much better times!). The only problem we had was hailing the marina on Saturday afternoon on VHF Ch 16/65 for our slip...
Some good very points there. BHYC to LEI is actually quite easy provided you stay in the channel. If you're not familiar, follow a bigger boat. I would only take the ICW from LEI to AC on high tide because of shoaling and narrow channels and of course the "Greenheads". A 50/50 mixture of...
So in essence, you are basing your personal opinion entirely on Mercury's history with other products and not specific experience with the Zeus product.
If you're saying that the Zeus pricing premium will not be recovered on resale, I fully agree with you but I wouldn't consider that to be a...
We looked at the 441 and 541 at the Yacht Expo and they are indeed great value boats. The 441 and 541 test boats were equipped with Zeus. I cannot justify the $91k for the Zeus option on the 441 by the improved performance and reduced fuel burn alone. In addition, I'd be concerned about...
Welcome! I drive by this boat every day:

I had a chance to have a look at the boat during the recent Yacht Expo at Merritt Island. If you're into a big bridge boat, this thing is truly impressive. The 541 is built on the same assembly line as the larger Sea Rays and the interior and wood components are manufactured by Sea Ray as...
