what about HTG on Grand Island NY. He is on here, and has a slick eliminator. from port dover it is only an hour or so ride

That's certainly doable, but being a newbie at this, I think I'd chit myself if I lost site of land. Think I'd rather drive over, mommas always shopping in Amherst and guess who she drags along. Rather have a root canal than go shopping.:lolhit:

Thanks Soundwave, if you don't mind me asking what are you running for an outdrive?

Thanks Soundwave , seems like I finally got someone that had time to answer my questions and concerns, without trying to push it on me today. Guess we need to put our nickels and dimes together now. Thanks again.

Iam running xr drive before i had a bravo 1 with 100 plus hours on 750 hp bought the xr over the winter because I got a smoken deal on it

By the time you add up,the price of Procharger, XR , hydraulic steering YIKES. Puts it in a different perspective. I could sell the 272 and throw the extra money at a bigger boat that has all that. But I like the size we have, don't want bigger. Yet if I spend that kind of coin on a 2001 boat I'll never get any return on that money. What to do What to do. Also I'm not so sure that a 27' boat is ideal for 85 mph as he claims it should run.

sell your boat and spend the money on a boat that does 77mph plus from factory plus you wiil need 750 or 850 hp to see 85mph in your boat

The 85 mph is what he claims, not my words. We'll have to think this one thru.
