With what a lot of people are saying you would think AT wouldn't be able to keep up with the 29-33 OB model orders.

You would think, but except for being on this forum I have never seen or heard of the new OB AT boats available. Put them in showrooms across the country and I bet the orders will start to come in. Then again, when I do step up to a larger sport boat it will have big blocks because without that it's just not a bad ass thundering sport boat IMO

Ours are supposedly good to 55-60 mph which is the speed I run them at max. And in my old age, I could really give 2 rat's a$$es what other think of me or ours boats.... :) And to the Op topic, I guess we are the exception to the rule, I'm looking at buying another boat, BIG V.....

Wow. This thread is a bunch of whiny *****es. If you have a twin engine big block boat because it makes you cool or because you want to fit in or because you have a small penis and are compensating then this thread makes sense. I know for me personally it's the look. It's the sound. I enjoy turning the wrenches and learning as I go. Outboards have impellers also and you have to drop the lower unit to get to it. I'll take an engine mounted Impeller everyday. Keep a spare and don't have to go on the trailer to fix.
Some of us do it because of love and passion not to impress others or compensate for anything. |

Thanks tommy. I love the looks of the fountain part of the reason I bought one. Been my dream boat since I was 10. She's about to start coming together. New shortblocks in the garage. Made a switch and ditching efi for carbs so I have some more stuff to order. Colabella just finished with drives. Bilge painted. Ready to start reassembly when I get home next week. Will get wet hopefully my trip home after that. So July

My daughter and her husband bring about $80.000 a year home. Yu would think f they wanted, they could swing a boat. I have been through the envelope system with her and t ain't there. Between day care at 500 a week, car payments of 600"a month, then throw n insurance, hospital bills form two extended stay births, the price f df and gas, a boat has no place in their budget.
I say the because, 80g a year seems like enough to live out your hobby, instead they live it out on my boats. |
Yeah but they are spending 3200 a month in child care and car payments. There's all the hobby money right there.
