I'm curious Rick, how much, if any, difference did the 8.1's make over the 7.4's?
7.4 were Horizon 380HP X 2 = 760 HP
8.1 are 370HP X 2 = 740 HP
Rick can tell you more if there was a Trans change and prop change.....I think they both produced similar torque.
Have you weighed the boat when it's on the lift? I was blown away by what my weight was with the CAT's. It was over 27,000 lbs with 1/2 fuel, little water, no provisions or bodies. Next time I am hauled I will request the weight documented, I'm curious to see the difference in weight between gas & diesel. My friend has the same setup as you and his swim platform is about 5 or 6 inches higher than mine.
......... One of my dockmates has a 2000 410 with the CAT motors and his sits several inches lower than mine.
certain 410 DA diesel owners are so full of crap that their boat sits lower in the water...
...if only you could teach that to some of our thin-skinned brethren...
You stop for gas when its empty.
