I'm obviously old, can't even get the smiley faces to work

Troutly, my mistake...for some reason it stuck in my head some time after having seen that picture before that you had torch. Is your boat a 2000? I had never seen that gold graphic, but I really like it though...very sharp for a gold level paint. I am just not impressed with the non-platinum offerings for '03 compared to previous silver and gold options. I saw Torch on an customers '01 at a dealer in N.H. a couple months ago. Wow, pictures don't do it justice, and the sunpad work/colors are incredible. Definetly one of my favorites. I guess I see the Firestorm and boxes as the most "hot rod" combo I've come across yet. Everything and everybody are in a holding pattern 'till I know for certian if that boat will be available. Should've known Monday...now it looks like Friday. That boat is eligible for 1 or 2 yr. Passport warranty purchase, just depends on the cost, if it makes sense or not. Obviously, drivetrain coverage is my main concern. I'm sure the joy of ownership will quickly heal the ulcer I'm getting trying to bring one of these deals together!

Don't count your Alabama dealer out yet

Not at all...

Just to stir the pot a little more. Passport warranty is not available on used HP500's, it is new only. I just checked.

Stir...stir..stir the pot. As in to buy on a 2000, or there is no coverage for the 500's in a used '01 up with "Formula Gard" ?

All 01 Formulas have 5 year Formula gard from Passport.2000 Fstechs did not,you can buy used 1 or 2 year engine and drive coverage unless it is a hi perf engine,i.e., an Hp500. Passport is good to deal with,just have to watch the fine print a little. If the boat has Formulagard now youre ok,if it doesn't, you cant buy it on 500's

Thank You for clarification on that Robert.
