No problems I've heard of that you need to watch for, other than stuff that comes up with any boat.  I'm on my 3rd Rinker with no significant issues.  Welcome aboard.

Yes as for the 5.7 witch is the 350 motor if I'm not mistaken . But I have a 454 Merc in it and I'm trying to fined out if it was an option to put in or if it had bin swapped in. Does any one else no ? Unless I'm wrong plz correct me thanks
