Your Dad was right most of the time, wasn't he???????

Between the procharger, hydr steering and paint work, he is talking about spending 10k on a 10k boat.

Someone better worn him about contacting his insurance company also. They might not even insure it.

Yea, but that doesn't mean I wanted to hear it

As far as spending 10k on a 10k boat, how is that any worse than buying a brand new boat for 70k, that will only be worth 40k the following summer??

A new 70k boat will not depreciate to 40k the next summer unless you paid too much to start with.

Just gofer it. let us know how it does. And be careful.

BOAT
break out another thousand

have you put any though into what happens to a small boat traveling very quickly when the drive pukes? Its generally not a nice pleasant controlled deceleration.

Like i said alpha with 450hp is a time bomb waiting to rapidly decelerate you.

FYI when i did the alpha to bravo conversion i did all th work mysefl and I sold the complete alpha for i think $400 less than what i paid for a complete bravo.

Yea, that was a little extreme, how about 65k to 45K........
