    Ok that’s helpful thank you. I guess the most important things are reliable HP without massive maintenance costs, with or without super chargers?

    No that’s ok, I’ll do due diligence on whatever motors are in the boat he really wants, I assume several engine builders build those motors? What would be a nice reliable HP for an engine that size?

    Hi!

    Sorry I've been away playing golf and a quick trip to Paris for some family stuff.

    Yes that boat would be great! Are the 540ci motors reliable? I guess 650+hp each?
