hi mark
yes we did. i have a love hate with it. 1 more boat to wash and maintain, and now i'm a captain for sheri and all her friends. not to mention it is louder then the cig! well when sheri gets all of her friends on it. lol. all kidding aside there are a fantastic boat. big cockpit, has a real nice layout, sheri loves the extra port side seat. cabin is real roomy also. we don't sleep on it so the rear bedroom is just storage for us. my cousin and her husband stayed on it last weekend and enjoyed it very much. they are like a giant speed boat and runs just about 50mph and cruise speed is around 32 mph. ours has the 502 mpi's. i wanted the smaller motors so it had manifolds instead of headers on a cruiser. handles the waves nice to. every time we use it sheri will say "did i tell you how much i love this boat". so bottom line 2 thumbs up. btw it has nice meeting you and mrs cig at the key west street party, from what i remember.

Thanks Todd I appreciate your input.
I believe we did meet at the street party. It does get a little blurry after while. LOL

Just converted a Formula 40SS to Arnesons
Waiting on a set of proepllers from Hering to see how it's going to perform but from the first sea trial it's going to be good. Easy easy boat to dock, steer's and handles great!

I've been lucky with my 400 w/B3's and 502's so far. 4 seasons and no issues but I baby her out of the hole.

Ok now you have my attention. What engines in the 400? Can we get some before and after numbers and other info on handling and such?
Looks real cool in the pics.
