DAMN that is a GREAT looking boat (I can't emphasize the DAMN or the Great enough. )

I just spent he day yesterday tied up to a 33 ss. They are really nice. Never been on one before.

RogerThat99: We're lucky enough to have both a 330SS and a 302. The 330SS is always in demand due to the spaciousness of the cockpit, and the factory Bimini top, the ease of entry, etc. Things that have nothing to do with driving it, but passengers value. The 302 is fun to drive, but can't fit as many comfy, is not as good to anchor out in, etc. While the 302 is the boat I'd choose to actually get somewhere, the 330 is what gets used the most due to all the above reasons. The cockpit is very close to the same size as the 400, btw.

I'm starting to consider selling both boats, and getting a 370 or 400 SS, something I considered a few years ago, but didn't. Now it makes even more sense, but I'd hate to lose the sport boat. As fast and smooth as the 400 is, I'm just not sure it matches the fun of driving a sport boat.

Sorry about stealing the thread, let's now go back to admiring this very nice 400's restoration.

Default Upgrades

Your boat looks great. I love the gray color.

I have a 1999 400 SS. I just installed a Garmin7616 and all new Livorsi gauges, trim and drive indicator, livorsi steering wheel and drive and throttle shifters. New sea deck flooring and all new switches from Formula. Fusion deck linked to the Garmin network. New speakers with LED and new sub (should have installed 2). Also installed a second tv on the arch in the cockpit over the sink. Pulled hdmi so it is connected to my dvd and Apple TV. Put flatscreen in cabin.

I had to cut out the old dash and have a new blank dash re-glassed. Then we cut new holes to make everything fit.

Ill try try to post a few pics so you can see the updated look.

My 400SS is 13.6" to the searchlight, radar off the arch. It sits on the trailer keel to ground 18". Dont know about hardtop version. I really like the old school arch. My trailer is a manning gooseneck 3 axle.

What do you tow it with? I currently have a 2500 diesel SRW.
