  1. Waterbrook - I havent heard of that being an issue. The boat's competed in two tournaments now and no one has raised that concern. I wasnt on board for either of the events, so i cant speak personally to it, but i would think if it was a problem i would have heard about it.
  2. Just to clarify, the SeaVee is equipped with a 480hp Cummins and ZF 2800 POD, not a Zeus. As far as i know there hasnt been any galvanic issues. The full review of the Single Pod System can be found on the boattest.com website. While outboards are a great product, and will always have their place on Center Console boats, this is a new and exciting alternative. Single Pod drivelines offer incredible maneuverability and fuel economy. With the price of fuel where it is these days, that HAS to be a consideration. Also, there is something to be said for having a clean transom. We've had some big name fisherman sea trial the boat, and they all comment on how easy it would be to board a fish when you dont have to work around outboards. We have fished the boat in a few tournaments now, and it really does the job well. Can you imagine how easy it is to back down on a fish with a joystick versus throttles? In the last tournament we participated in we were able to place the boat right by a large piece of debris floating in the water and maneuver the boat with the joystick keeping it in perfect position to fish under it.
