For me I went with diesel just for dependability and safety. GAS boats blow up , diesel does not. I would rather put up with diesel fumes on occasion instead of burning flesh and death. I am funny that way , All about saftey

Call me at 757-333-3299 x200 when you have some time to chat. Long story short - I am not unhappy with the gassers. But, I would buy the boat with diesels if I had to do it all over again.Hey mistercomputerman,
I would love to hear your opinion on the 410 with gas power. I'm not hear to start a gas vs diesel debate. Just looking for someone with real experience running a big gasser. Are you satisfied with the performance of your boat? Would you go diesel next time considering the added cost upfront and maintenance?
Thanks, Dono10
No reason to get defensive! Everyone has different situations...reminds me of the old Chevy vs. Ford days.I knew the beatings would start.
LOL! For me it's Boeing vs. Airbus!No reason to get defensive! Everyone has different situations...reminds me of the old Chevy vs. Ford days.
Not true...Btw gas boats use 100% more fuel than the diesels.

I have not seen many gasers blow. However.....wonder why nearly every home has natural gas vs. fuel oil? Just saying!For me I went with diesel just for dependability and safety.

Because it is easy to pump to homes, no need for a tank, no need for trucks delivering oil, it burns cleaner and requires a cheaper furnace and water heater. But, it was not a safety decision. Natural gas is very flammable, diesel oil isn’t. If a home has a natural gas leak, all it takes is a spark and baboom. No baboom with oil leak.I have not seen many gasers blow.

Ear piercing? Mine has a faint squeal as I go onto plane and then nothing. I only hear that because I'm listening for it. My passengers don't even notice it.At cruise the turbo was ear piercing
When the admiral says no way, then it's ear piercing. We take long 6 hour runs so that just doesn't work. At least with the boat we tested.Ear piercing? Mine has a faint squeal as I go onto plane and then nothing. I only hear that because I'm listening for it. My passengers don't even notice it.
