Thats a tuff one! Once you find a boat that you like,and your ready to buy. I would say have all of your ducks in a row,and bring a real offer to the table.
( I hope that helped alittle)

Steve,

I will personally vouch for the fact that both Kevin and Tim of OCM are absolutely awsome to work with. Tim especially.... is just a great guy, and a straight shooter.

Sounds great! I come home in mid-September and may have to take a drive north!

It would be very cool to meet you in person.

PilotSteve,
Our 06 Heat is stock. 496 HO, Trim tabs, OBMC, Remote stereo controls, stainless grab rails behind bolsters (Must get these) Not sure what else may be optional?
My next one will have innerliner in floor and snap out carpet, no wood, 525, (Doesn't need it, but I want it!) and a better paint job on trailer. (or made of aluminum since I would be keeping it longer.)
I will say that if the trailer paint quality has not been improved then buy a tailer somewhere else.
I also like the looks of the new NexStep folding ladder. Sharp!
We have considered a flame MCOB but still like to tube/ ski and fear it will be too clumsy for that. Also the Heat is very easy on gas IMO! Plus my Burban may not handle the Flame as its a 1/2 ton?
I would post pics but my membership has expired??
Mine may be for sale after this season if we can decide what to replace it with?
Decisions??
Stopped at Checkmate yesterday and they have true 28' MCOB now too. Worth taking a look at. They are also offering it with outboards too which really opens up the area behind the bolsters. One I saw had four stand up bolsters and then still had the bench. With twin 350 Verados you are looking at mid 80's they claim. Also supposedly 40% more fuel effcient? Sounds like a stretch to me.
My two cents!
Jeff

Unlimited,
Does the 07 Flame an enclosed head?
Considering looking at a 32 Sunny next weekend for this reason alone.
Also is it open or closed bow?
