Hi I'm moving up from a 05 340 DA , WHAT A GREAT BOAT . Fenomimal
In every aspect of operation, never used the tabs to get on plane.wanting to move to a 390/400 DA
I'm now looking/ interested in a 04 and up 390/40 DA , GAS !!
Question, 8.1L 370 hp. VS. 8.1 L HO 420 hp
How does the boat run/handle Mostly planing ? Speed top end doesn't matter
I know diesels have more torque, but the maintenance and fuel saving does not apply to me, any thoughts/experiences real life , would be helpful
My gut say go with the 420 hp only ,( the more hp the better ) but there Seems to be more of 370 hp boats out there then the 420 hp b
