10 boats, whereof 2 sibs, SR 5.4 Rib, one displacement diesel, one gas inboard, the rest equipped with outboard engines. Number of outboard engines higher than number of boats...My favorite so far is the SR 5.4 and also the kids loves it, it takes me home in rough weather safely and faster than most other boats around.
