jrobinson, you will be pleased to know that an erstwhile boatbuilder such as Bertram Yacht actually constructed a couple of big, porky 42 motoryachts with 454s/340 BHP as power for Great Lakes clients who had no need to go fast, who had a limited boating season, and saw no need to spend big bucks on the (then) 6-71 Detroits.
In 1987, the gas boat cost $293,135 while the oil burner had a retail pricetag of $354,295.
As Bertram did with every boat, the 42s were seatrialed on Biscayne Bay and passed muster in all respects prior to being delivered to the dealer.
