I'm going to second the bow thruster recommendation. I find myself wishing for it on my Sonic, I would have to have it on a BT. The 46EC is the only other boat I am interested in.

Question: when you moved the transducer, were those thru hull applictions??

first spot was thru-hull, and then it was later moved to the very last section of the pad (not thru-hull). It worked the same in both spots. I think the issue might be with aerated water from the stepped hull.

I might have to agree with you...

Since your 2nd application was not a thru-hull application...

I guess my theory/ won't hold water...(pun intended)...

But, I'm quering everyone I know about your concerns...

Any one tried a small holding tank for the water supply to the genny. Baja added one to the 405 and it enabled you to run the boat upto WOT withthe gen and a/c running. Just a thought!

Hey Mike, good seeing you and Mark last Fri. I still think you should go after the pleasure yatch vee kilo record with your new boat. You have all of the amenities. The record is only at 124!

Depth sounders have never worked at any speed over 10 MPH on a BT

There are many offshores that do work fairly well at speed

There needs to be more reserch to this

If nothing else to make it work at a fast idle

I loved my BT but it is time for a number of updates on the boat

Nothing much has changed with the basic boat in over 10 years


I begged them for years to bring back the 32 footer as an entry boat
Not sure that is a good idea today in this economy but i think it would sell
