    The Argo App, The Waze Type App for Water Navigation. Free

    I've been trying this out for a few months now. It isn't bad, doesn't always use the best route in reality (or one that I may choose based on conditions or experience) but I don't hate it.

    Partsvu - are they legit and OK to buy from or?

    So far they seem to be one of the better sources of Yamaha parts short of buying directly from Yamaha. There's only one Yamaha marine dealer reasonably close to me; if I need it quickly then I go to them otherwise I order from PartsVu.

    Thoughts on New Gen Direct Injected VP 5.3L v8 350HP?

    If it's an actual LT based DI engine I'm already leery of it. Dunno if they've worked the bugs out but I watched my neighbor not get to drive has later model truck with one of those engines because it was constantly at the dealer. Was a brand new truck.
