I sold my pontoon (thank god!) this week and have started the what am I going to get next game. Family wants a cruiser, I want at least a token hint at performance, and the only holdover from the pontoon that I liked, was the verado. Other than lacking a windshield, this looks to be pretty close to what I would buy if money was no object.
If I'm lucky, I'll be in the market for a used one in ten years or so.
70 with trip Verados.

Pat, there does seem to be a lot of Yamaha 'influence' in this boat. Where did this originate and who's building them?


BTW, I really like what I've seen so far, appears to be a great intermediate (sport cruiser)!

This boat makes me want to get married and have kids!

Wait, that's just stupid!


Sad thing is I could actually see myself pimpin' this boat on lake st. Clair having a blast.

Nice work guys!

You'd have a better chance of buying this boat without the wife and kids

But yeah, this boat is a lot of things to a pretty wide group of people.

You did the right thing, you bought the boat before the wife and kids..

Now just make sure to have it fully paid for if it isn't already before marriage.


Congrats again.. I love the 33!

I think it would be better w/o the Outboards, they don't seem to fit the whole scheme
