Completely different vibe to them. My father loves them. It was only a matter of time - you look in the pictures above you'll see the next door neighbor has one.

Liquid, tell your dad we love his boat. He looks like a guy you’d like to sit and have a beer with. It’s great that your whole family is into boating.

Beautiful boat. I had a ride on Lake Tahoe in a CC Corsair 27 and it was damn nice. Not worth the extra money to me over an R7 or an A series, but I get why people buy them.

I will say I'm not to big into the go fast boats because of the limited space. But I would probably be a trader for something like this.

Man, all that boat needs is a small sun pad and stern drives paired to 525s with CC and it would be a perfect go-fast boat.

Outboards are for sure better power to weight, but don't have the soul and emotion of a big block, or multiple big blocks. That is not a 'fastest boat on the lake' boat, its a 'fastest boat with a kitchen and full head' boat, lol.

Nah BB you have had the koolaid dumped on you by hp numbers. I don't care if it's one or 5, those outboards will never sound as good as1 or 2 big blocks with an open CC. They sound like 5 bigass sewing machines.
