Usually, most manufacturers pick a date (say 15 years) then ever consecutive year (as in 1993 this year) they discontinue the line.
So, next year, the earliest available would be 1994 and so on.

That is how Mastercraft does it, not sure about other manufacturers.

They do it in house, the pattern should not be a problem but the vinyl will be different, call Fountain parts and speak to Margeret or Robert.

Wow! That looks great. I also like the lighted speakers, that will be a neat effect at night on the water!

Can't get the guy to respond to me, not sure if it is sold and just still listed or what.

Buying and selling boats is a pain.

Thing that ticks me off is I KNOW there is that perfect boat out there right now with an owner that is contemplating selling. The trick is, in this market you (I) end up in a pool of 10 other guys nationwide that have been looking.

Market seems to just keep getting better (for buyers that is).

I should have let Scott Shogren whip me like a red headed step child on my boat and just got the one he had last month.

Okay, forget what I said. I just spoke with the guy (listed it here for his father).

Sounds like I may be taking a trip up to check it out.

I'm honestly kinda scared of the blowers and dual carbs. Not something I've had experience with or know much about.

Fuel consumption wise, are they something like a turbo, in other words, it won't guzzle fuel as long as you don't hammer down?

As long as you run her around 3000 or 3200, much above that and she should really start drinking heavily......

Treads, shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance with the guys number about the paint. It sounds worth checking out at least. I think I better find out what I'm looking at to get at least the cockpit fixed before I make any offers.

Dude that gave me the info on the boat said when you get into it you can hear the blowers screaming clear as a whistle even with your head up in the mid 70's wind.
