Default Grady-White's new "360 Express"

Your forgetting a few things. That is a hell of a lot of money for a
boat with outboards. I was at the NY boat show where they had one.
Their were lots of people that looked at the price tag and commented
"they can't be serious". And don't think for a minute that boat is
going to hold it's value. Large outboard powered boats drop fast when
the engines start getting hours on them. A thousand to fifteen hundred
hours on outboards is close to, if not the, end of the road, but a
diesel powered boat, their just getting started. By the time you equip
that boat your not that far away from a "real" boat price. Second, that
boat is not going to ride like an inboard powered boat. When the sea's
come up, that throttle is going back. And third, their's just so much
space lost to the outboards as compared to an inboard powered boat. Try
fighting a large, uncooperative fish with those outboards in the way.
Do yourself a favor, wake up, that boat is a bad idea that you'll
regret for a long time.
