    Man, you are a real glutton for punishment. Playing with cars and boats at the same time.

    I lose interest in cars from time to time, and get into boats and fishing. Then I flip back to liking cars and don't fish for years on end. But there is one similarity between the two.......................THEY BOTH COST A WHOLE LOT OF $$$$$$.

    I work in the service dept of a marina, so I am kind of turned off on boats right now. (kind of like the guy who works in the doughnut factory probably never eats one of the things) When I worked in a body shop, going home to work on my car was the furthest thing from my mind. I had my fill of cars all day long.

    You are going to take a real hit on those turbo diesels, but years down the road you will reap the benefits. They make so much more sense in a boat like that.

    PS: Those Volvo Duo-props are really good units. Bet you love them. By the way, pull and grease your inner prop OFTEN. Otherwise they freeze in place, and need a die cutter to get the hubs off.
