Hell yea! Keep cranking em out, Pete! Makes my chances of owning one some day a little better.

Think this is the right move for getting new boaters on the water. We have been saturated with 500,000-1,000,000 dollar boats for years now. 38' or bigger that goes for cat and V boats. The Industry has been big boats with high speed numbers now we are seeing the smaller stuff come back around. It's not a small boat and it has great numbers and a better price.

Either way, yikes. I guess you could say a 250k 28 skater is starter boat for the ones who can buy the 500-1M boats.

How do you keep your gearcases together ? Dead serious ��

Good aftermarket seals for shaft and shift. Ck and change lower unit oil regularly.
Be decent on the throttles LOL

Change the merc water pump seal and shirt shaft seal to Todd D, billet seal carriers.change the oil every time you run it. No more problems. But most of us have spare gearcases just in case.
