I agree, The 377 Talon is a great boat. It also has a center pod which improves lowend handling and helps to eliminate the "hop" associated with many cats. It has faired well on the race course and I've seen a few with some really cool "aft" cabins on the outboard model.

I Think My Opinion Is
 

what's up big daddy?

I know what you were saying and thought it was funny!!:D :D I was just poking fun at myself and for that mater anybody else who owns a high performance boat and runs the crap out of it. Regardless of what brand you buy get ready to spend lots of bucks going to poker runs and keeping your boat in top shape. You know what I mean!!!:D :drink:

Now ALL of E-Dock is planning on taking over Jacksonville on their run.... AREN'T WE?!!:evilb: :D I think everyone else has committed---you ARE DEFINITELY IN, aren't ya?

Yup:cool:

LMAO.:drink: :drink:

If you are really in the market, a little more info will help you get a better response, some questions might be.
New or used
How much $$ do you want to spend
Lakes or ocean water
How many people or kids do you want to carry and how old are they.
Is a cabin or head required.

Well SKATER just won OFFSHORE CAT OF THE YEAR from POWERBOAT magazine.

Powerboat, ya I believe everything they say:rolleyes: They are almost as bad as HotBoat magazine...Anyways, Skater is definatly worthy of Offshore Cat of the Year.:cool: The top 4 are all good, just depends on your criteria. I would be proud to own any of the 3 and definatly could not afford the 4th.:D

Whats wrong with Powerboat??

Look forward to having fun with you guys all summer!!:evilb: Not sure about Jacksonville. To much going on. Might try to fit it in but at this time I can't even find a weekend to get to the lake until mid May!!:eek:

Did someone call?

Sorry....I thought you said MOJO!!!!:evilb: :evilb: :cool:

gently used, better bang for your buck. probably 300-350k. Great Lakes boating. Kids under 10yrs old right now. Need the cabin, mainly for storage.

leaning towards nortech 36.

call Rare Breed!!

That is good advice. The boat you are describing is Rare Breed. HANDS DOWN, the cleanest boat you will look at!!

Now only if we knew a salesman who could help this guy out... :drink:

Careful there's one under every rock!

:drink: :D

Doug, Sorry I didn't remember your screen name. Shoot me a p.m. if you have any more questions on the N.T.'s better hurry up though, June A-Bay isn't that far away:D

Call Tres he has a 44 MTI pleasure that he told me the owner is looking to move pretty cheap (for an MTI).

The Nortec is going to be a nice sitdown boat and should be well with in you price range. It does have a minimal cabin and 5 seat cockpit.
Skater builds a 36 with a small cabin and a 5 place sitdown cockpit, there aren't a lot of them and I don't think the market is very strong do to them not having a windshield or canapy.This is in you favor price wise.
The only MTI in you price range with a cabin, is going to be a 42 or 44 pleasure version. ie: Rare Breed. It is a very large stand up boat with alot of freeboard. Cockpit seats 8-9. The cabin is also going to be ALOT bigger with easier access. It is a stand up boat and doesn't have a windshield.You should also be able to find a couple of these in you price range. Rare Breed is a little more money but also one of the Nicest Pieces your going to find with more ameneites than any of the others.
So. It all depends on what you want, A sitdown boat or a standup, A large cockpit and cuddy or something a little more racey with minimal cuddy and cockpit.
Good luck, I am sure you will happy with what ever you end up with.

My buddy called today. It was far from cheap.

the 2004 44 mti Tres has with myco trailer, bpm's and 900's is a sweet boat if you want a nice cabin, and it can be bought under 400k. Rare Breed is another sweet boat, no boat is better maintained period.

Who did he call? Not me. This boat is still brand new. Its been inside all its life.Still smells new.Motors are fresh too! What is far from cheap? word.

I,m trying to help you Tres. I think the price you told me was very cheap for a MTI. But cheap & MTI goes together like cheap & Outerlimits.

Not one person called here! on Tuesday. Some people like to tell stories.:mad:

Amen brother! Come on Frankie help me out!!!

Thanks for the promo Mikey, 1 clarification, I have always drove Rare Breed sitting down, it can be drove either way! OH YEAL i am in the mood to DEAL!!

I didn't think for an MTI the price was bad and questioned why someone would say it's "far from cheap". Unless they're trying to move an MTI?

Two words for you Mike....."Private Messaging":D

Well I wish you all the best. I think 350-375k for that much equipment is a pretty good deal. Now don't get me wrong that's a hell-of-a-lot of money. Every month when I write the check to the bank it hurts bad but everytime I take ALL FIRED UP out it's well worth it (at least to me no substute for quality). My old man always said "it only cost a little more to go first class boy". Good luck Mark.

Rare Breed is the cream of the crop, and definitely my favorite offshore rig.

definitely!! I still have a down payment of it!:D

Delo you need to show the pictures that occur aprox. 10-15 seconds after those!! James has a very good one that I have been meaning to have him do for me, (probably ???) the last time I will see everybody in my rearview mirror! Bubba what are you doing in that first picture,( Nickoteen shots)??

Not quite sure what I was doing, but it looks like I just ate a cow:eek: :drink: I probably had to get back there to hear the exhaust since those 1100 KE's are so quiet:cool: And you know what we were doing in the bottom picture!!!:evilb:

thats a cool looking pick zoomed in,boat looks good sitting in the water:D

The old mare rared her head and stomped her feet that first leg ! then i believe Tyson and Brad had to rub a little liament on her!

Last one. Rare Breed giving it to Freedom. ;)

Raising the price on the website as we speak!!:evilb: :D
