Thank you for the heads up. After looking online on what boat brands would be their we decided not to go this year, acutally havent gone in quite a few years. Few years back they didn't have a ton of performance boats but they did have Baja, Fountain, Cigarette, and I think Donzi.

Just got back myself and I'm also disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the azimuts were awesome (despite the hour long line) and I really liked the formulas, but not a single performance boat. Kind of a let down...oh well. On the bright side, got a new VHF radio and stereo system for a good price

The 400SS grows on me more and more every year... I had a great conversation with Scott Porter. They did a great job of saving the company over the last few years, and are looking forward to better days soon. The pricing deals they were offering were incredible.
