And if you want to write off the interest from the loan here are the qualifications for that http://www.suite101.com/content/seco...owners-a200155

Here ya go. Under your limit and even though it has Bravos, they're cheap to fix if anything goes wrong. Its a great big water boat and will run 90+ easily.

Well, seeing we seem to be selling Scot our favorite brands here, IMO, this would be a cheaper, faster, and better looking choice for Scot....plus, I dont think he wants Jeff sittin that close to him! :kiss:

The OL definately has more reliable power which the XRs may or may not live through. Dont know the speed on the Cig, but the SOB should run. 3A's are overpowered at 900 HP, but maybe a detune for reliablilty is in line. IMO, the Cig is a nicer lookin boat...in this case. I think the Stiletto is NOT one of OL's best lookin boats. Just my .02

Easy to say but that will limit some to what they can get. For me it is the smart money buy. I write my boat off though my business( I do take clients out often). So I need to take the interest minus my deductions and beat that number with my investments. In the end I can buy more boat then I would if I paid cash, because like Scot is seeing I would never take $120k from my future and plunk it down on a depricating asset. My Cafe was paid off but I owed $9k on my home equity. So when it sold I paid that off. My guess is many have credit card debt that is staggering. Most CC debt is between 13-20% and no write offs. I have not had any credit card debt in 15 years. I pay that thing off every month. But like I said the boat I will not own for 20 years and won't pay this off, so for me and my situation this makes the most dollars and sense. At least I can point to the boat and say that is what I owe the money on and it still has a value. From what I see at work there are many with credit card bills that equal the price of a car and they can not tell me what it was all spent on. If boat loans where in the 9' this would never work for me nor would own the boat I do now, I would have gladly kept the Cafe. And for the record the only reason I bought the Tiger was because Scot told me too :drink:. Scot I know you can find something nice and cool for $50-$70K, but it will most likely be a bravo boat, but then again I don't see that as a bad thing.

i definatley do not think i am the authority on anything. when have i said that? i always say at the end of my posts that its just my opinion...so im not sure what you are referring to here.

I really like that CIG. It says the boat is in Michigan but there is a picture of it running next to "Spiderman". That boat is still in Rhode Island. I wonder if he is local now.

Boat is all done and reported to run 115 MPH....any interest? PM me if you are. Dont want to let the CAT out of the bag here. :party-smiley-004:

Adam, I think you may be right. Crazy colors everywhere and an older boat. Your good! Im not so sure you can hold a candle to Dans little encylopedia of boats though! I think he has made a full time job of knowing what, where, who, when, and how in the performance boat world!

Sorry Dan...... I have to bust your balls a little!!!! :lolhit:

Gate was closed so I couldnt get to it. Looks like maybe a work in progress, or a project boat. Hard to tell but it had snow on it. ....................Ok, now lets hear the story with this boat....Adam?....Dan??? :drink::drink::drink: And Dan, not fair if you send one of your "people" out quickly to investigate either!
