It looks great in the pics. It would be good if you posted some engine and cabin pics in the ad as well. If I was in the market for a 36, it would be tough choice between yours and the 687 boat.

I love your interior and will actually use what u did as a template of sorts when I do mine next winter. You are 100pct about project vs turn key.I would also love to go the asd route but it is like throwing $ into the wind because u will never get it back when u sell. Once again, best of luck u have a great boat.

Thanks Griff, I will be adding some I didn't have any handy when I created the site and the ad. I should have them added later tonight.

+1. And some pics of the outdrives.

I like the upholstered dash. I may end up doing the same thing with my 28.

I the little updates like the glove box and the cup holder cut-outs. It's also nice having a lonseal floor vs. the carpet.

Bobby send me info on your boat when it was for sale in 04/05' timeframe. I can't remember but does your boat have an enclosed head?

Good luck, the boat looks great!

I wasn't 100% sure about the design when I told them to run with it. I was hoping for the best. The photo shop rendering I created was not the greatest. So I wasn't sure what I was going to get. Now that it's complete I couldn't be happier with it.

ASD would be nice. It's one of those things, if we have to worry about how much it cost we can't afford it. LOL

I should be a salesman for ASD I have it all figured out.

One way to look at it is you will never have to replace a drive from failure. You can pay up front for reliability or you can pay later in drive rebuilds.

If you keep you boat for 20 years lets say you break or repair one drive every two years (very conservative). That's 10 drive rebuilds over 20 years. 3k per drive rebuild is also conservative 4 or 5k is more like it to rebuild a bravo XR properly.

So that's from 30k to 50k in rebuilds over the next 20 years. If you are running bigger power and trying to go faster you will break at least one a year. So the ROI is even quicker. Likely could break even in 7 to 10 years.

I've gone over this in my head dozens of times. If I was able to boat more often and truly enjoy my boat I might of pulled the trigger and went ASD's. But as little as I use it I couldn't justify it.

I will try to get some up tonight.

That was exactly when I bought it. Yes it does have the enclosed head, that was what sealed the deal for my wife. That and we had been on poker runs with Roger before we bought it, never on the Apache but we used to watch him truck right by us in sloppy ass water that was beating the crap out of us in our 30 Sutphen.

Funny story when I told her it was for sale she asked if I made him an offer yet. 2 days later we bought it. I owned 2 other boats at the time. That's a hell of a wife.

The enclosed head is very rare!!

The headroom in the cabin is what sold me on the 36'. I wish I had the enclosed head though. There's lot's of room for the family, much more than even a 41'.

+1 The baby changing table came in handy a couple years ago as well LOL..
