OUCH!!! I priced out a 07 with HO's SST and every option you could get and it was only 154k with the trailer. That was out the door prices so in 2 yrs with a poor market they've went up 24,000 thats insane...You guys can bag on me but at those prices I don't see many selling...And considering they aren't any better prepped than what Hawkeye has been putting out for years...Not much R&D IMO they would've had alot better boat had it stayed with the former producers and employees and might've had something to sell considering there should be boats on the showroom floor already...FAJA better step up they're game or I'd say its curtains for FAJA. After seeing what Baja put out with Split Decisions Reggie and Fountain ain't got nothing on them...

The windscreen looks to me like it does not have a split all the the way down the middle, only the top half is split. It is taller in front of the driver and passenger with an added curl upwards. Something like the 25 Outlaw windscreen, just more obvious.

Well said irishtornado. When given the time and resources we could build as good a boat as anybody (See: Split Decision).
Unfortunately being the "affordable" performance boat does not allow you to add all the extra bells and whistles and performance test EVERY boat that comes down the line AND still price it affordably to sell. Especially when Brunswick's got Mr. Burns running us off a cliff.
Not to mention (I know some may be shocked lol) not everyone wants a customized boat with a raised "X" that will get an extra 4 miles an hour or whatever. Case in point: the last production boat that came down the line. I'm sure some of the other guys can shed light on that debacle (pain in the rear).
I wish them luck, but they probably will fight an uphill battle to sell these boats in this market if they are priced that high.

I did 3 Poker Runs this summer with Jason and Hawkeyes SPLIT DECISION. Ive never seen a boat draw that much attention, even at Lake of the Ozarks where all the big players were out. I heard it was even crazier at Cumberland a weekend or 2 ago!

Ive always believed that! It was all about the time and getting them out the door.
