Years ago Reggie did in fact test run every boat. Now the numbers are up, and the demands on his time are different so most of the test runs are done by trusted employees. Reggie likely did do the pre ship test run on your boat, so don't let some hoser try to convince you other wise.

Congrats on owning one of the finest performance boats on the water.

What did you end up getting, the staggered?

We didn't close deals too far apart (time wise) considering we were searching for the SAME boat!

I spent half the day yesterday cleaning, new impeller in the generator, swapping out the GPS, more cleaning, got the vaccuflush working, replaced some light bulbs. Still have other minor stuff to do, new batteries, shower sump (pump) is locked up, more cleaning in the bilge, some gauges need replaced, little stuff mainly.

Post some pics of your new toy!

Pj yea we bought the boat in canada with staggereds. I think we paid to much but it was the only one out there other then the one you got in are price range and we really like the boat. Boat is in really nice shape and with all white interior looks looks newer then it is. Cant post pics spent all my money on the boat. look here http://www.greatlakesoffshore.com/gr...ead.php?t=5159

I just spent all day putting in new bearings and new axle on the trailer. We lost a wheel 3 hrs into are trip home. People think with buddy bearings you never have to pack bearings only one set on the trailer looked good.

NO SH*T! We made it about an hour or so before catastrophic tire failure! Cost me a cool FOUR HUNDRED BUCKS to get a new tire mounted on my rim on the NJ turnpike.

You rubbing it in about the "white interior"? (j/k)
