I had a great experience this morning - demo Ranger Z520 Commanche
with a 250 Verado and all mine for a few hours.

Spectacular performance - I'm getting more and more impressed with the
Verado as time goes on. Very quiet and equal performance to ETEC -
hate to admit it, but maybe a little better in top end performance. A
little heavy on the gas though - maybe a third more than ETEC. I
might rethink that Contender with the Verados that's still for sale.

Had a great time largemouth fishing on the northern part of Lake
Murray and up the Saluda River. Unfortunately, had to get the boat
back early, but it was still a blast - don't know which was more fun -
the ride or the fishing. :)
