We are bound to run into each other sooner or later. I hope to trailer the boat a few places next summer, so maybe we can hook up somewhere.

but he still can drink you under the table...get the sand out

He is still recovering.

Is the bidet installed and operational on my new boat yet? Is it safe to operate it at top speed...which in this case is @ 79 MPH?!

So you might actually un-winterize the air next year?

We are going to re-winterize it this year just to make sure

That was it, and the cabin does come with the creature comforts you listed plus many more including DVD, E-Pkex, microwave, air/heat......

GT,

That seems crazy that a salesman didn't race home to call you with pertinent information after talking with you for 15 minutes! They must have misprofiled you.

The boat is great, the price is fantastic when looking at other 43's that run over 100 mph on stock Mercury 700's. There is also a sizable difference between sticker price and the price you will actually pay. Side entry is an engineering pain in the azz when you only have 7 boats built in the first production year. Side entry maybe something they offer in the future but let them get 25 boats built then expect changes to be made. Mentalpause waited 2 years for his F4 to be built so I would say he is very well versed in the build process and materials used on the F4. He is also a pretty level headed guy that doesn't need a Baja owner hammering his ride about details that really don't matter.

I rode in the green F4 in the Atlantic ocean with 5 aboard and full fuel for probably 25 minutes at 100 mph and really never noticed what kind of material was in the cabin but I can tell you that this boat screams!

Check on the price of a new Outerlimits 42 or even a Cigarette 42X and let us know if 499K seems reasonable for the V Bottom of the Year, fastest in class at the Shootout 07 Sunsation F4!

Like I said, I know I was being defensive. I have no idea what you were told, but the facts you stated were not accurate

GT, you are correct that no side-entry is available at this time. My guess is it would take a lot of interest in that option for them to invest in creating new dash and cabin liner molds to accomdate the setup. McLeod already builds a side by side bolster so that part of the setup is alread complete. The material used in the cabin by McLeod is fairly new to the market and I too thought it was just a high end vinyl. It does not have the samel feel to it that the Ultra Leather used by Formula has. As far as the "custom" word being tossed around to describe the F-4, I believe a lot of that surrounds Sunsation's in-house production of a lot of the trim pieces used to finish off the boat. There are a lot of pieces on that boat that you cannot buy off the shelf. But you are correct in that "custom" does not refer to a customer being able to order the boat with different cockpit or cabin configurations like you can on some other manufactures boats. I do hope you decide to take that test ride.
