Reliability??? American cars have a history of poor reliability. I was so excited when this boat came out with a Lexus engine, I thought "finally, a reliable boat!"
The parts problem is correct though.... Wish they never stopped making them.
I cant wait for boats to catch up to cars with technology, reliability, fuel economy, etc...
I felt that the Toyota Epic was the first boat to attempt that.
