32"L x 30"W x 30"H, compared to 29 x 26 x 21".

Oh, yeah, it's about 2.5x the price, not counting the changes necessary to your on-board fuel system. Complete package; motor, transmission, transom group and drive is over $20K USD installed.

But if you use the boat a lot, and plan on keeping it for 20+ years....
Interesting. That is less than I thought it would be if the price includes the outdrive. I thought that low $20K price was just for the "bobtail" engine. If the 230/260hp 3 liter V6 with the Bravo setup if priced proportionally to the 150/170 2 liter package, then maybe it becomes a bit more attractive option in situations where folks are converting slightly larger I/0 boats to bracketed 6 cylinder 4stroke outboards.
