While I have a 9.8 V8 which has cams, my next sail is an 8.0 Retro. I replaced my 7.7 V8 with the Retro. I don't really notice a difference in stability or range between the 7.7 V8 and the 8.0 Retro. I was surprised at this, but pleased, of course.

Will I go and replace my 9.8 V8 with a 9.5 or 10 Retro? I'll definitely try it out, as I'm interested in seeing how it performs. But I'll wait until the 9.8 has a few more years on it.
