demo ride video the one I got to ride on this year hard a pair of these motors there is really no need to go full throttle the power torque is truly amazing to feel it shift like a auto trans in a car was different in a cool sort of way the eng. rpms dropped way down and so did the fuel use www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqGjLOeRPfk&feature=player_embedded

not just the expensive stuff was the biggest deals The Garmin electronics booth was packed the whole show the new stuff from the high end all the way down to the new small fish finders was drawing in the masses every one came a way with WOW effect The new humming bird 360 system was up and running and also quite a wow The trend in boats sure seems to be bigger boats with multiple bigger out boards when you asked the manufacturers they all seemed to have the same reply It just makes good sense in the long run out boards are easier to change and these days burn less fuel if you have a problem and want to get it going fast just change out the whole thing One thing we found most impressive at this show as not the big high end thing but a little 16' boat built for two people that rode better than more than a few 27' boats we rode in and boat motor and trailer price (WITH 50HP HONDA) WAS 15K BRAND NEW but the big expensive shit is still cool to ride and look at.

Those boats all look fantastic, but really, do they need 1200 HP? They must have one hell of a transom.
The 35 foot cruisers with twin hidden 300 OBs makes a lot of sense to me.

The big hp with the newer engines will use less fuel in the middle of the throttle VS smaller motors at WOT or so they claim but then I find it hard to believe guys that buy boats like this think about fuel economy even for a minute
The 35 cruiser was just one, more and more bigger boats with out boards the open transom seems to be a better use of space no world cats this year rumor is they are having financial problems may be going out of business they have had more than their share of quality control problems tha last few years
