Default 419 Fastechs

Anyone on here close to the factory? Will they/have they discussed bringing back the 419 now that there are so many companies making $$$ selling the 40'+ boat now. I like the 419 but one draw back is the trips for some people. With all the newer power options from Mercury, it would be cool to see them bring it back and offer 1075's, 850's or even 700's. If the answer is no, would than be willing to part with the molds or lease them out.

Talked to a local guy this summer and the 419 came up. He said he contacted the factory (around year 2000) about building a staggered twin engine 419. They weren't interested/couldn't do it due to the stringer system in the boat.

Even so, a 419 w/ triple 525's would stil be a nice boat. I guess it would have to have a twin offering to please more of the market segment like the 4300 Nortech.

Doller Marine is redoing a 419 just like that. Brand new 525, drives, and transom assemblies. The guy who's having the work done must have wanted a 419 badly.

I got one of the HP 500's that was originally in the boat.

Nice. The 419 is one of those boats that if the perfect condition one came on the market, I'd probably buy it. Check this out. http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/9/6/86270396.htm

Talked to the guy. Boat is getting (2) new drives (they were stolen). No a/c or genset though.

Scuba Steve - That boat has been sold. It was offered to me and once I found out who the previous owner was I passed. The boat was driven hard - really hard and needed a fair amount of work.

I have a 419 and 4 slips away from the 419 mentioned above. You are right that guy has way too many boats and none are well cared for. Just my 2 cents

Always thought a 419 with twin #6's and 800-1000 H.P. would be the ultimate offshore boat.

The 419 is the Mac Daddy Formula. This one was in our boat club. Love those graphics too.
