Not sure.
I only know it was Shreveport.

Older/established area w/some gorgeous properties.

He bought his as a fixer upper and totally redid it.

Don’t want to hijack thread but garage by house had cool toys too.

No worries. I know that area pretty well. I ride my bike to Bossier/ Shreveport at least once a month. The Red River also is right there and flows my direction. I live on the Red. It empties into the Atchafalaya and Mississippi River. Anyway beautiful area up there. Hijack over...

I’m also starting to really dig those 450’s. Anyone want to go in on a group buy of powerball tickets lol

I cringe every time this subject comes up. Skater is rigging my new 368 as I post this. Mine is a 700 boat. For me there wasn't even a question. It wasn't about top speed, insurance, resale or warranty's. I grew up around I/O (and Jets way back) performance boats. I am simply not that buyer. I bought exactly what I wanted. I didn't want an O/B boat...period. I have absolutely nothing against them. But personally don't ever see myself owning one.

There is no room for the word "practicality" around performance boats, as there is nothing practical about them.

Personal choice.

Why do not more of these packages show up for I/O's?

Seems they would be nice at the 600-630HP level, designed by GM, DI, closed cooled so no water running thru the motor etc?

For up to 33 ish V's and light weight cats to me that they would be a good option. Maybe have to put SCX's behind them. Granted, there would need to be some bling added.

My guess would be that since there is this hi-perf. outboard market, There will be new technology, new HP per CI Stern drive stuff come available at some point. Competition breeds innovation.

I get it. I loved my 700s for what they were. My boating life is much better with outboards now. If I only boated at LOTO or something it would probably have stayed that way. I get far more use out of my OB MTI than my Skater for my needs.

Your 368 will be a fantastic piece of equipment.

Hmmm. Have you traded your fine doubles in for a Blaser yet? (kidding)

haha, no. But I do use the hell out of a Blaser K95, fits nicely in the same case with one of my doubles. And I have never really been a Blaser fan at all. Picked one up for a good deal years ago to try. Probably shot half my game with it over the last decade.
