Overheard at a national boat show from a salesperson, that the SS33 is going to be discontinued, leaving only the SS31 and the SS35. Having to do with the 31, if you're bent on getting the bigger motors (with which I agree), the 31 IS available with the 496 engines.
If you can swing it, why not get the bigger, more spacious, more comfortable, newest model, i.e., the SS35. Between the two choices of the 31 v.s. the 35, there's no contest. Especially with the Axius system. That's the thing of the future, and will no doubt revolutionize boating/docking. Hell, I'd chose the 35 based solely on the Axius system alone.
Go for it, it's Christmas time!

HI Boomer. I was told March Delivery if I get my order in this week.

HI Doc. I did it. I changed my order to the 350SS with the 496HO motors and the Axius system and all of the electronic goodies they offered:D

As the nurses say, after a successful surgery, 'you done good'. Seriously,.... congratulations, I'm very happy for you.

Congrats!!! You will love your new Formula.

Which paint scheme did you select?

Thanks very much.

Thanks Boomer. I wanted to go with the Flagship Elite Imron Graphic-Black Onyx but we decided on the new Flagship Imron Graphic-Morning Sand for more of a suttle look. Inside is Sand with White striping. Mid March is comming soon and I can hardlay wait. I can see myself cruising in the blistering cold with this baby!!

Boat will be beautiful,glad you changed from Flagship Elite. IMHO the Elite is great on the smaller boats but the larger models look better with the regular Flagship. Congrats on a nice choice.
