Engine specs for the Cruisers Yachts 350 Express 2012 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cruisers Yachts 460 Express 2008 carries 400 gallons versus 232 gallons in the Cruisers Yachts 350 Express 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
