[QUOTE=Mr. Sandman;450706]I was there yesterday as well. Pretty much went there just to see that boat. Went over every inch of that craft and it is loaded to the gills with sweet stuff. The positively bouyant hull is a nice saftey feature as well.
It is a great boat and judging from the sea trials gets damn good economy too. With the twin 300 zukis it will cruise aat 35 with a 2.4 MPG burn rate. That is imprsssive for a single OB going in the 20mph range. Also hits 57 wot.
3 things this boat needs for my liking..

1) IMO it needs to be a hair larger... 2 more feet and 6 more inches of beam would make it perfect. I don't want or need a 57mph top end and would be happy with 45 wot and a 34mph cruise. I would like 2 more feet in the cocpit though.

2) A tad more elbow room in the pilot house. (that is why I want 6 more inches in beam.

3) the msrp is 199 which is insane. You can get it new for 150 and a year old for 115. It has a few too many bells and whistles...however they are all very nice I am not sure which one I would want to give up. That pilot house heater would keep me out there all winter!



How are they getting heat in the pilot house with outboards ???

LETS GO BRANDON
