So at 90 mph will the wind chill factor be in the 30s? It is 85 down here and humid as crap so maybe that will be fun for the day.

If it rains all day I will be pissed. Thanks for the info.
Do you think I should have someone come do a survey on the boat? I was reading that someone was having a survey done on a Forumula they were looking at. I have never bought a used boat. Is the survey usually done on older boats or should one be done on a 1 year old boat with 50 hours on it? Mike

Thanks. I agree that trusting someone from across the country that I have not met is hard. I have read so many positive comments about the dealership that I feel pretty comfortable with the purchase.

Great ride and a great deal. Just understand one thing, this boat by far is superior to your other boat in two ways,

first - performance
second - maintenance, fuel, insurance, dock fees, etc...

Dont get me wrong, if you can swing it and its worth it to you, GO FOR IT. Great boat and I know you will enjoy.

first-performance. I can't stop thinking about this part of it.
second- Maintenance, I don't think it will be to much worse than now. The more frequent oil changes will just be a wash since I won't be burning $40-$70 in oil every time I use the boat. Fuel at 60mph is better than the old boat. Above 60mph, well this is the cost I will pay to join that club. Insurance is the worst of it, went from $2100 to $8300. Luckily no increase in dock fees since the boat is kept behind the house. It will cost me some money to adjust the bunks.

Well the weather looks great. Sunny and 70 degrees. I can not go to sleep even though my alarm is set for 3:30am. It's the x-mas eve night feeling you get when you were a kid. Thanks for all the answers to my many questions everyone. I will try to take some pictures. Mike
