I want a staggered small block 28....:p

Damn if the 37 is considered small my 32 must be a row boat now days. i gues that all depends on where you boat in my area my 32 is a big boat, i say if it works well leave it alone and the 37 is all that. build the 43 and now you have choice.

I say you make a bolt on swim platform standard and rename the 37 as a 39.

As far as feeling small the cabin is huge, the freeboard is huge, I dont get feeling small??

ok dam the 43 off to a 39'9" for marketing..Then you have a 37 with 5'1" headroom, a 40' with 6'2" headroom and a 43 which should be renamed the 44 or 45' with 6'2" headroom. :party-smiley-004::D




and when is my boat gonna be done

I stand corrected. I was refering to the the next one at the start of the berth, move that one back and shorten up the seats. Longer bed :ie no problem with tall ones. Ace:D

You have never been in Hyperactive then, build a boat without the liner and you will have a 8' v-berth and wider also. Plenty of room to do whatever?????

No I never had the pleasure of seeing Hyperactive. But as you say, that was kinda my point. But our smat ass leader had to get all technical on me. ( not that I would expect anything different :p):D

The information I have seen is for new purchase 2007. The experts say that boat cost, fuel, insurance and an uncertain economy is all but killed the middle class buyer. Middle class buyers support the sub 38 market and the used market. Both markets are in the sh*ter.

The those who are in the upper income or high netwoth class dont care about boat cost, fuel cost, insurance, or resale. The are recession proof. That is the mainstream now and they are buying bigger boats than ever before.

Ain't that the truth, There is no or very little middle class left.... You eather have it or you don't. I don't want to be all doom and gloom but that is what I am seeing in my travels all over the country.:(

I think you are using that as a generalization across the board, not directly hi-performance.

Our customers, you included, look for performance AND value. I have to admit my 28 client is non-existant but the 33 and 37 customers are still here. I would have to think that if it is stated 'middle class buyer' and 'sub 38 size boats' it would be relative to the 'cruiser crowd' where you can get a new boat for under $150-200k.
