Raptor 400 VS 450

One caveat would be that I could be wrong, but that was my understanding.

As I recall, the Makai was rolled out by itself as a 450/1.76 combo, whereas other models, both Supra and Moomba, were phased in as referenced earlier regardless of 450 motor.

In other words, a 2019 Max with a 450 could be a 1.5 or a 1.76 depending when it was built.

Clear as MUD.

This is how I recall it as well...only Makai with 450 had the 1.76 tranny.

It was fine, adequate. But my buddies with a 550 is poetic.

Is it overkill in TX probably...is it overkill when I have 10-12 people on board, 100% ballast and 850lbs in lead and I want to jump on plane to head to party cove without draining ballast to get on plane...no.

Plus that whine of the blower is f'ing awesome sounding!!

Had our SA450 not been available, we were going to buy a SA550. Had one with similar hours and decent price in sites. We didn't need it, and the color scheme wasn't the best, but my wife thought the value would hold better. Plus, when we move to Texas, my wife wanted her cousin to piss himself when he witnessed the power. He'll still wet himself with the 450.
