Why mess around with 850's?

This one was listed for $149k for a long time:

I would get the 46' V-bottom cougar in the classifieds and then toy with Dr. Bob. I think its listed under cougar and Apache......

The former owner of that boat kept it at my marina on Lake Cumberlnad. The guy traded it back in to Lake Cumberland Marine on a brand new 42 with 1075's and probably reduced his overall boating cost.

I have a 47 Fountain Sport Cruiser. As you know, it was replaced by the express cruiser.
I think there are several advantages in our climate over the express because of trailability. Evern if you aren't trailering regularly, it is easy to do and requires no permits because of width. The express cruisers are too wide and then you're either stuck with the marina overcharges for off-season storage, or have to figure out how to get the boat moved.
I looked at 47 lightnings but the performance is about the same with the same power and the cabin head room is much better in the sport cruiser. I can't deal with not being able to stand up in the cabin when overnighting.
There are some great deals out there no matter what you choose.
