    I know the boats may say "10 persons" but are you really going to say no to "25 gals" !?

    2000 Z250 with 7.4L MPI and Bravo 1 drive: top speed via GPS was 48mph downstream. Speedo read 55 though!

    Haven't had the Z280 up to full speed, and probably won't do it much. After all, it's not how fast you get there, it's all about the journey, right? (That's the excuse all my sailboat friends use)
