Maybe go triple 496's. Then it would be triple awesome

47 Apache, trips don't seem to be popular.
51 Outerlimits, gross paintjob.
45 Maximus, I like it. I think some have sold for less recently.
Sunny F4, I like those a lot. I'd prefer different colors.
38' PP, my fave looks wise. I hate bravos. Really like this boat.
42' PR, love that boat. A lot. Still hate the bravos.

The outerlimits, maxiums and sunsation would sell faster with different paint IMO. Anything other than white will be subject to changing and various tastes.

If you spent a million bucks you would have a fleet of the baddest boats out there! I'll throw in the quad 1075 52 Nortech too!

Buy the quad boat, yank the power/drives and put a pair of new 1350's/M8's in it
Recycle 3 of the 1075s into the 47 Apache (spare motor left over)
Pick between the 51 and 45 and reshoot it with better paint (both 1075 boats and remember you have an extra)
Sunny F4, been on it a few times. Paint isn't terrible but I have always hated the F4 logo on the bow......reshoot that part for sure. Personally I'd rather own the 38 PP (more unique).
38 PP, ditch the current power for new Merc 700's or even Potter 750's and slap a couple of your leftover #6's from the Nortech on the transom.
42 PR.... run it as is???

I may ruffle some feathers, but what the hell....

It's a gorgeous boat. Beautiful performance boats always catch my eyes and ears. Thought I'd never be interested in any other type of boat. BUT has anyone been to a boat show lately? There is no market for our beloved boats anymore. The sport isn't dying. It's dead!

You can pretty much count on one hand how many manufacturers are left (actually building and selling boats). You can probably get away with using the other hand to count how many each sell per year. It's all tooners and CCs anymore. I will never buy another go fast, because when you go to sell, there aren't any buyers left.

And it's not about the money. Pontoon manufacturers can't build $100k boats fast enough.
