    Oh man, way more replies than I thought I would get on this lol. The previous owner used this anchor all the time over in Mobile Bay but im not sure it would work over here. And if I had to anchor the boat out for a hurricane, I know that anchor wouldn't hold all to well.

    They are the crusader ones that give 350. Out of curiosity, why is going at hull speed a terrible speed? would it not be the most efficient speed to run at without being at idle or on a plane?

    Greeting collective mind of the internet. I have decided to just keep the 454's in my boat and work on doing other items that can increase fuel efficiency and one of the items is proper props.

    I don't really care about resale value and thanks for the welcome Comodave. Been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger on buying a boat for Fl / GoM cruising in general. HTurner, I looked there and then discovered evwest.com for the motor and batteries.

    I have a 1989 Luhrs 400 that I don't particularly plan on selling anytime soon. Diesels are pretty well out of the question due to the cost it would take to purchase and install (from what I have found somewhere around 100k for the engines and install). I started looking into the idea of going...
