This showed me how they did not understand the marketing process of the product.

I don't know the BT market at all, but if they were all brand new for comparison, aren't the 51 OL's & 50 NT's substantiallymore expensive than a 46 BT?

Jeff - You are right, If you notice i was the only one not wearing a life vest in the cigarette.(made me look like the true idiot in the boat) I am here to tell you I will not run any poker run that does not make wearing a life jacket mandatory now
and i will not run any boat at high speed without a vest on
You are correct the old mind set is not relevant anymore in the case of safety life jackets are nessesary to the sport

As far as BT, the niche was a good one ,they failed to capitalize on their popularity when they were on the top of the bubble. When the bubble burst they had nothing left, it is very sad

Jeff you going to KW this year ??

if I remember right for an old thread someone discussed what they had done to address the side to side issue...I think they may have resolved it on the 05 or 06 models...even added the bow thruster which I'm sure helps a lot around the dock with as tall as they are.

Just to clarify, the newer 460 BT's will run a best of 75-76 with twin 525's. Trip 525's is a best of about 85mph. They have tickled 90 with 700's and NXT's.
