If you live on a coast this is all you see. When I go out in my bowrider I'm the minority. It's not uncommon to see these monsters with 3 or 4 screws. It's crazy how much those center consoles run in price, I guess you're basically buying the HP on the back end.

In West Palm Beach I saw a 38' center console on display at a show with 4 on the back and casually asked the salesman what one like this would cost. When he said eight hundred I thought I misunderstood him. Then he said with 3 motors it would be around $750,000.

Seriously? With $200k of motors, where the heck is the other $600,000? To this day I dont know if he was yanking my chain.

Dear Lord... Cobalts are cheap if that's the case

Great pics everyone! No Rules what did you name your boat?

MTI just signed an agreement with Performance boat center at LOTO's. They are going to start to stock the MTI center consoles there. And the 40' center console they make you can put up to 5 350hp verado's on the back of it.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks. I guess high horsepower on a rather utilitarian CC is what some folks dream of.
I’ll take a little more luxury, style, and the amenities of a large Formula Crossover or an R35.

DCL, curious....how fast will that 220S run with that setup?

Very rare to see that these days!

Have had a great boating season over here in AR!

What do you think? Could you say no to that face? LOL

Had a great time out on Lake Washington this weekend for Seafair. Watched the blue angels from the boat and then rafted up with a 67' yacht, 3 R5s, Malibu Wakesetter and my A25. Amazing weather and lots of fun!

Wish i could post the cool video of the Blue Angels flyby!

On way back home going across Lake St Clair, MI

Nice shots. Guys.

Looking good guys. Missing the lake. South Padre last week. Going to watch the Astros Thursday be back Friday. Hopefully family will be up for boating on Sunday!!!.

You mean the arch with bimini? For the 2018, there were 4 arch options like that (two black, two white), and one option with a bimini on thinner poles. Or no top at all. We like this one, as it gives something solid to hang on to when boarding over the side for older guests, provides a shady spot when floating, and gives a high mount option for skiing (no tubing from the arch).

Configured just as you see it in the referenced pic, ~47 mph at ~4900 rpm, not quite WOT. The top is tight, no flapping or rattling.

By this weekend, I should have a VesselView mobile installed, and should get some better data.
