I don`t know about anyone else but I used to beat the crap out of my sports cars way more than I do to any boat.
My boats mostly see about 3500-4K rpms and easy does it up there.... WOT every so often for a short period of time.
MY LS1 I used to romp on most stop lights and take it to the max on the highway.. mostly cause there wasn`t some weak ass Bravo based drive behind my Trans AM

Probably true! But I don't believe the impact would be the same. There might be a lot of differences when it comes to brand loyalty, I think they are referred to as " flag wavers " but I know without a doubt that we are all " flag wavers " when it omes to the good OL USA !!

I was lucky in my purchase, the boat I wanted, with the bonus power!! There is no doubt if I ever change, it will be done by a custom builder, probably Eddie Young!!

Who's Eddie? Oh yea, that guy you can call at 02:00 to leave a message and he answers the phone still at the shop, sleeps with a 7200 RPM soundtrack at full volume beside his bed and uses a Whipple Supercharge for a pillow..That Guy?
