Tell us what you have in mind, and what kind of statement you want to make. Do you want to be noticed by everyone, do you want to be recognized, or do you want to be respected by all?
Pick two.
I'm shooting for the latter two. But, that's my style.
You won't even see me coming, but you'll remember.
I'll help you spend your money!!
Next question.

I do want to keep the "Old school" line's with a little of today's flash....with that...I want to keep clean lines and some kick a$$ add on's / extras...It is the 30th anniversary of this off- shore legend so I want it to do the Family Proud..and I am sure the critics are going to jump in with their thoughts, but by all means, the pool is open...I need and want your thoughts...

As far as Power, I'm open to suggestions, but in the end, Jo and Pepe are the ones that I will listen too, With that being said, I will listen to anyone with any opinion, good or bad....As you can see I'm new to this,....And i will take all the guidence needed...To make this happen.

Go for the merc 700 and nxt package.
Hey, it's easy to spend someone elses money

seriously, Isn't the ts suppose to yeld several more mph?

Sorry Tomesi, Yes if it was not my $$$$ I would opt for the 700 NXT package...what are your thoughts on surface drives..?? On the 28...??

Tomcei....sorry, I'm still new to this "forum" thing...Yes, looking to gain about 10-12 mph on the top end with the new stepped hull...Jo, I am sure will jump in and explain the facts and figures alot better than I....and maybe can give you all an update better than I....

Congrats Scott! I will be visiting the factory next month ... can't wait to see more!

I'm really excited you did this just for the awesome thread this will be over the winter blahs !! ...... :D :food-smiley-007:

there is an 02 with a 650 inovation in Tierra Verde,which is near St pete Beach.

Scott, you'll love the boat no matter what you put in it.
If the hull changes net a 10mph dif then that's smokin good.
That would put a 525 in the very high 70's


Isn't full throttle running about 68-70?? with a standard bottom

That will be awesome, if that's the case. :drink: Have Jo & Pepe been testing with a plug?

Anyone know if a new 28' will be at the Miami show? Would definitely make the trip worth while. :evilb:

Anyone have a ball park on what Merc gets for the 700/NXT package?

One Miiilllliiiion Dollars!

Sorry, couldn't resist :p
