Yeah, I think in time that will be the technology and motor to have though. Yesterday on the way home from the cottage a guy passed me with a 175 Verado rigged to some brand of Aluminum Fishing Boat and I swear the motor had to be worth 90% of the boat package value. It is a sweet looking thing to my eye, although I'd have a tough time passing up a 250 XS at that price.KEWL!! Too bad they're all so EXPENSIVE
