I like those Pursuit S288/328s with the pair of 300 Yamahas! I think they are sharp and simple (no triples/stupid options you won't use etc).

I completely agree with Indy. I've been on here per my badge 20 + years now, A LOT has come, gone and changed. I remember this was the first site I clicked on every morning, looking at all the different Owners Forum posts, learning things, shooting and talking smack was fun. Now we rely on what...maybe one or two threads with something posted in the owners section, hoping Phil has something in Skater to see pix of rebuilding... hell, thank God for Tank always posting pix lol.

I am not a rich man by any means but there was a time I could afford to have the truck, boat and cool stuff that went with it. But like others have said the $500K "entry" level boat has taken me completely out of the market. I get the outboard craze but man, they are all the same really, not a lot of "man that is sweet" factor stuff anymore. Sure everything is cool but all CC's seem the same and cats seem the same just like every 38 top gun is the same but it was the comradery just like the Baja days, yes, Baja days where 90% of us probably cut our teeth and helped make the site(s) what they are. Remember Teambajamarine.com....those were some fun times lol!

Anyway, I lurk, don't post much because I don't have a dog in the hunt but retirement is my focus now. Then I can get a HCB or Yellow Fin and retire in Costa Rica in 10-12 years.... Wish we could get some more of that kind of publicity on the site since the CC craze is still what it is.

Viking held an event at their service yard in Riviera Beach instead. Viking was a huge vendor for Miami to lose. If they don't see a loss in sales, I'd bet they are going to back out of more shows and other manufacturers will likely bail as well.
