Except for going for a ride and a cocktail you can keep it.

I have no interest. Gonna be allot of cussing when a fish wants to swim by the stern. Need a 15 foot pole to clear the nut crushers on the back.

That must be about 175K hanging on the back of the boat.

I never understood why they can't make an internal discharge manifold where the discharges can come together and have fewer thru hulls near the stern........looks so stupid.

Ding!

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Oceans have a nick name "flexible flyers" you don't want an ocean. Go into the bilge when it is running...down right scary how much the hull flexes in a sea. (the older ones at least)

At least take a 50' viking...


The quads are not my style either and I am amazed that they sell these, but they do. I was in the keys at a boat dealer and they had boats with trips and quads lined up like a used car lot, I could not believe it.

I would rather have a big express with diesels for fishing myself.

I love a center console and the idea of having something bigger than my 19 footer is great, but 53' is a bit much and 4 engines is way too much. I would take a 30-35' foot boat with two big twins and save some money

People that can even think about buyin one of these dont give 2 #^&#^&#^&#^&s about gas money. Its just a rounding difference.
It must be an unbelievable experience just to ride on a center console that big going that fast....through ANY sea conditions.
Impractical for most but man what a seal watchin boat that could make
