hi mike just read your post and yes the quick silver is starting to become quite a popular boat. as myself and rich have the smaller 580. in the past i have owned just about most of the quicksilver range and to look at they are a very good looking boat i started with the 500 which the fiberglass seemed to sink in to the boat, so it went back after a couple of months, then upgraded to the 560. owned that for about 8 months, went to boat show and fell in love with the 640 which i trailered, the engine i had on it was a 115 4 stroke. as i was advised the bigger engine isnt always being thrashed to get it on the plane. i owned the 640 a.k.a loyal royal for a year and oceanique had her for 6 months of that year putting all the faults and problems right. as i said lovely looking boat it is just a shame that they are made out of chocolate. feel free to ring me mike if you have any queries 07966 198093
