Congratulations....my wife and I graduated from a 4 cylinder as well. Boy, were we terrified first time we took out our spanking new Outback LS. That was a year ago, and we still have an ear to ear grin when we get to the boat ramp. We love the boat, the quality and perfomance is top notch, and it's the sweetest looking boat (white body, yellow accent, tower with an American flag flying on it) on the lake. Hope you enjoy your boat as much as we do ours.
