1 or 2 engines ... this is the question !
Century Coronado Cardel wrote: I am 38 years old and I currently own 2 boats, right now...a 1999 Malibu V-Drive and a Classic 1986 Century Coronado Cardel. '86 is now "classic"? wow. i will say my 83 ChrisCraft scorpion is a tough little boat, it was well taken care of when I got it last year, and it's always on the trailer when not in use. I mean, I don't park it in a slip to sit most of the summer. But that boat is SOLID! and even though it needs some wax, the gelcoat is still in great shape. I've had three boats in my live, a 14 ft Jon boat which doesn't count. a '64 Chris Craft Cavalier (wood) and this Scorpion. I'm not saying there's not other quality brands out there, but If I get another boat, it will probably be another Chris. BUT! Anyhow. I always looked at multiple engines was there is two of everything. Two engines, two outdrives, double the consumption, and could be twice the head aches. YMMV |

I know they have a joint venture in California, and a shared R&D deal, but I don't think GM owns any part of Toyota. With SAAB you are dead-on, and it has proved to be a disaster. |
