Wetpaint – While I agree that the boat is probably a great boat regardless of engine package, I have a hard time being comfortable with the numbers below. It’s more than just outright mileage; in addition to using nearly twice as much fuel, its going to take considerably longer to get to your destination, making those borderline trips non-existent trips. I know it can be argued that the additional cost of the diesel package will pay for a LOT of gas, but when the numbers get to this point I just have a difficult time considering it a good choice for me - and it is purely personal preference. That’s why I was really hoping the owners with the gas boats would jump on the band wagon telling me that the numbers below are crap, and the gas engines make an excellent package! :grin:

These numbers look correct, according to my limited experience. It's really a question of how much you cruise. In my case, I couldn't justify the extra $100K for D's. Just don't cruise that far.
