Maybe not if they are well set up. I'm running 720hp and over 700tq through a set of teague xr's and, knock on wood, I've been running them for 5 years without an explosion. They come off and get checked out every 30 or 40 hrs and put them back together. Sure it's a pita but it's fairly cheap and it keeps them together.

I think I made it clear that I want to be in a 33 AT as a next boat but don't think the timeframe and budget will coincide. I'm in a single now and am looking to step up to twins so I feel safe enough to tackle some Lake Michigan runs and LOTO. I would love to wait and go straight to the 33 but just don't know I can wait that long. My second choice would be the 32 AT (while waiting/saving for the 33) but those are scarce as well. My question is, do I ride it out for however long it takes to get the 33 or do I make a gradual step up? If I make a step up (with the intent to ultimately be in a 33) what should I be looking at for a good ride that is a common, easy to find boat? (Sorry PPJ) I was thinking Sonic 31ss, 33 AVS, 33 outlaw??? Again, I am asking here because you guys already know what an awesome ride is like.

Also as a reminder, this is just for conversation fun, I'm not shopping at all for a couple years...I need to build my business up more first.

And if this gets off track again...lets make sure the ball bustin is top notch! I'm always up for a good laugh.

Thanks!




Its a tough call. But if you realistically look at boats and how they depreciate and what they cost to operate.... I say it doesnt. Pay to do the step up routine. If you have a boat that you are generally happy with and know that in a few years you will be able to buy/ build the boat you really want then its best to wait. That is assuming a loss on a boat over time. Which is usually the case. Now if there was some stellar deal along the way... that might change things. Now I will say a 33 thunder is worth the wait!!! Good luck. Hope you are the next builder of one!

Just a simple observation my friend but hey we can't drift off topic here.:drink:

Who's coming to Miami?
Well, does that mean that you'll be in the show in February? You've made some comments about having a 33' with eggbeaters, perhaps the new "Red" 37' and we won't even ask about the 29' ! C'mon, spill the beans, I don't want to get airline tickets and a cot to look at the latest center consoles! Sure hope Brian's done with the delete finger :drink:

I beat the 288 kid so bad with my 33 outlaw it left him sitting at the dock still! He got so depressed he sold it to buy a mid life chrisis corvette and even has the gray hair to match! :lolhit:

Was that good enough ball bustin for ya?

Yeah the 33 AT is a pretty sweet rare boat. Sucks you cant go longer and open up your options to a 37. Worst thing to do is not have a nice boat to enjoy. I love my 33 Outlaw and impress anyone who goes for a ride or trys to run with me. Great overall boats especially for the money.

Easy on the KID, offshore... I'm sure it was depressing enough sitting on the dock :lolhit:
BUT he did beat Ron to the lunch stop... :p
