10.8 Express with Cat Diesels

Post by RWS »

I would REALLY love to see how this behaves, performs and run her for a week to check out her "usability"

Too bad the luxury tax killed this line.

The reports I've gotten was that the 300 HP was a bit underpowered. I think 375 to 425 would be a perfect fit, as the boat dry weighs in at about 19000 lbs.
