But it was definately the sweetest boat I saw there.
To dream is nice. Whaler as always had some nice rides too.
Fountains are incredible, but thats not my style....

I also noticed lots of manufacturers are teaming up with merc...

VERADO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:humpty: :humpty: : :drool: :drool:

To dream sure is nice. I saw a kayak that I might be able to afford if I start saving now.:doh: :hidin:

I think most of those manufacturers teaming up with Merc are owned by Merc.

Well,

Spent a few hours there this afternoon. Parked at Carson beach for zip, thanks QD.

One of the things that caught my eye was the 26 Albin. Me being a straight inboard guy. But 93 to 115 depending on engine......will have to hit that megamillions.

I could never be a salesman....some of the stuff they say. Like when I ask a repower guy how much more fuel efficent a Crusader 350 MPI is compared to the 260HP carberated Mercruiser mid 90's engine I have now he says 30-40% better............my arse, I may buy 10-15%...

Did a turbo tour on Saturday. I was impressed by the Hydrasports 29 footer. Unfortunately it's way too big to trailer. Lot's of nice boats to see. Took home tons of brochures to look through.

Verado's everywhere!

Fish On, I loved that boat, the wife even loved it, free Raymarine electronics ,140,000 with 250 v-tecs and allthe options.......only one question.......wich bank do I knock over?:jester:

I agree with Beamie, the 26 Albin center console with a diesel would be my boat if I could do it. But for 100K +, I don't think so....

But, my wife really liked the Parker and I can't say that was a bad choice too, it would be nice to be warm and dry! She hates our SeaCraft because there is no place to hide from the elements.

Great show, had fun.
