After reading all this I feel the need to share some info on my boat. It's actually quite funny. My boat is one of a few made in the line before it was cancelled for insurance reasons. It's a Regal Sebring, it is 18'10" long and I got it with the "shortly available" Mercruiser 350 with the Alpha One drive. The boat is INSANE. I actually had to return the boat to the factory 4 years after I bought it because the torque was so huge it actually ripped the hull stringers away from the fiberglass. So they built me a new hull that was more reinforced and put my motor and drive in it. The boat is wicked fast. With the 21" prop on it I hit 67 MPH at the top. Pretty wild ride in a boat that small. I have been driving boats since I was 7 and only my "feel" of the boat has saved us a few times when air got under us and I cut the throttle before we lost control, thats why they discontuned it, it is a really dangerous boat if you don't know what you are doing, but it really is one wild ride.
