whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

Just curious who might be buying a new boat in 06 and what it will be. Are we all moving up or just getting new. I moved up last year from the 98 25 daytona to the 05 27 daytona.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

did you sell your 27?

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

No not yet, its still up but this past weekend it was 70 and its getting close to boat season so well see. This past month ive been getting more calls on it than i have the last 4 months so must be buying season.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

what would you take for it?

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

Traded in 2005 28 Daytona for new 2006 33 Daytona, It's being rigged, should be ready for delivery in the next few weeks I hope.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

who did you trade it into? What motors did you get?

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

Schumaker Performance/Great Lakes Eliminator.
New 33 Daytona will be powered by twin blown fuel injected 557 ci, they are expected to dyno @ 1000+ hp ea. Bill Schumaker is building and rigging motors. we will also be using the new Imco 1000 outdrives on boxes.

I traded in a 2003 260 Eagle for a 28' Daytona with twin 525's. It should be done in a month or so. I can't wait!... it just needs to stop raining now.

That thing ought to scream... :crazy: :D

You'll love it... :D

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

Harper don't you have a 28'? What power? And what do you think of it? Pros and cons.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

I have a 2001 TD with 496 ho's. runs low 90's when everything is just right. I just added 2" shorties, so hopefully I'll pick up a little performance. I'm very happy with everything about the boat. The cockpit in the TD is huge. I think they chopped it down a bit with the new line of 28's though. I believe the new 28's are much faster with the lp bottom. The 525's should be awesome in your new rig, enjoy...

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

I also went with 2'' shortie sportmasters... we'll see how it works out.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

I'm jealous. :(

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

completely jealous. I want a 33 for 06 season. But I don't have a place to put my 27 so that would only make it worse. Do we have any during construction and build pics????

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

I would love a new 36. Anyone wanna buy me one? Didn't think so....i keep my 01 TD 28. Getting ready to test some new props, so it will be like a new boat right..

WHAT PROP, SPEED AND RPMS ARE YOU RUNNING WITH YOUR 27 ?

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

No, Shumaker Performance, Greenwood IN

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

I think its a 28, its whatever they pulled off the shelf when i picked it up and with it it runs top end 87/88 and always 85-86. Keep in mind it was only on the water 5 times last year. And Im thinking thats at 5250 tach i had yet to get bored with it and start looking into another prop. Also I set the boat up for a whipple and planned on re-propping when i added that.

Here's my 27' with 750 hp turbine.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

That is awesome!! Any pictures of the turbine or the rest of the boat?

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

Yeah kick ass. can you ski behind it? Do you take it to the airport for repairs or the local grease dock? Good luck sounds fast.

Eliminator, you're going to like working with Bill Shumaker if you haven't noticed already. He's worked on my boat and is an honest and fair guy who knows what he's doing....hard to find sometimes in this industry.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

ctconsulting: I absolutely agree, Bill is currently finishing up my new 33' Daytona. He built me a 28' Daytona with twin n/a 800hp 588's last year. He does some awesome work and is great to deal with.

Re: whos buying a new boat in 06?
 

It is really a neat boat. Shifts in and out of gear just like any other boat with a brake on the N1 side of the motor which is just like pushing the pedal on a clutch and letting it out...smooth. It burns a lot less fuel than a Merc 525 and you can run kero or diesel in it. It wouldn't make much of a ski boat 'cause it's a little slower out of the hole than a 525 but it more than makes up for it on the top end. The boat really pulls hard just off of plane all the way to 114 gps. Not bad for 750 horses. This boat was built so you didn't have to work on motors all the time. 6 to 8000 hrs. before anything done to motor other than changing the oil. Quiet on the water to, all you hear is a whistle. And last but not least, the boat is for sale.
