Default Got it BAAAAAD!!!

Does the Miriah Owners Club have a "In House therapy program?" Just put an offer in on a 2000 Z308 loaded with T5.7's...already own a '99 Z260 7.4L. Would like some feedback on 308's from owners, ie performance and especially how tender they are. 260's are very tender but would expect twis and extra weight would stabilize the hull.??? Hope so....love the boat.

    I've got it bad too, been keeping my eyes open for the perfect Z308. Where's the one you put the bid on?

    There's a few members on here with them, but overall I get the impression there weren't many manufactured, because you hardly ever see them on the market. Unless they're just so great people don't want to get rid of them!

    Twin 5.7's, awesome, never seen that. We have twin 4.3's in our 308. The 5.7's have to push well over 50 mph. The performance with the 4.3's is pretty good, better than most cruisers in the same length, in my opinion.

    What do you mean by how tender it is?
