I predict they will never be able to sell one because none of the
"sales associates" will be able to figure how to drag the thing past
their scanner.....


i do hope thay have a "pre assembly option" at no extra charge, like
the do their charcoal grills and lawn swings...

My understanding, perhaps faulty, was Volvo 5.7L gas I/Os.

It should have straight inboard diesels IMHO.

Actually it's just plain pretty.

Whan an awful choice of engines though in a boat of that size, price
and quality. It deserves better.

And who would use flaky Quicktime video for a presentation if they
had any other choice.

Got that right.

Nits. You've just got to pick them.

What would the world be without nit pickers?

A whole like poorer I'm thinking. :)

I don't know that the hell is wrong with me lately - making all these
typos. I must be taking Tim lessons.

A whole LOT poorer I'm thinking is what it should have said.

DAMN YOU TIM - DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

Ahem...

Never mind. :)

Interesting.

This is boat is pretty upscale. Not exactly the sort of thing one
would expect to see being hawked by the folks who package toilet paper
in 96-roll units.

*ONLY* a half-a-million bucks for hull #1!

a bargian at any price...

Cheapskate. :)

Speaking of cheap, I had to use that light the other night - I just
wanted to publically thank you for that.

It came in really handy - cool beans man.

Ah ha! Little LED promotional lights. I knew someone would blab sooner or
later.

Oh wait - you are talking about the stern drives?

Yeah - I might agree with you on that. Hell, it you are going with
outdrives, might as well put ETECs on it. :)

Yep...... there's a lot of the $495,000 toy club hanging out
there..... sheesh....

I predict they will never be able to sell one because none of the
"sales associates" will be able to figure how to drag the thing past
their scanner.....

ROTFLMAO!!!!

That was funny...

Wow, very pretty boat. At a 1/2 Million, it's just out of my price range.

Lyman at first glance, but the edges are to sharp, boring shearline,
flat sides... no character. I wonder it that is a spray rail, or if
they went with a small planing deck, or a full Vee, Just don't know,
think the Lyman might handle better. NOTE, I don't know a lot about
big boats, just like to look at the lines.
