I got banned by mod 11. You cannot disagree next thing you know they will hack my network and threaten mass killing. I do this for fun?

Mod 11 will put the Other site out of business.

My boat has two outboards and will never do 80 MPH. I don't need the biggest or the fastest.

What was the MPG?

Appears to have lots of problems and once on the internet they are hard to erase. It would seem that a new power head is a better way to go.

That will come with the Contender video I looked at the video, what am I missing?

What is the price? This guy must be in a real rush to sell his boat?

Not much facts or data. How fast did the boat go, what was MPG at cruise?

What is the price?

I'm planning on taking her for a ride tomorrow. She's still available. She's still available. Thd boat is awsome. It performs better than I expected when I baught it. The sweet spot is 29.5 knots at 4500rpms. She's also very dry running. Make Me an Offer

I agree, no one should be driving fast enough at night to launch their boat over another. While the lack of lights was a major factor, the Intrepid never should have been on plane after dark. I am always amazed at how fast people will go at night. Boats don't have headlights! If we still enforced maritime law, I bet the Intrepid owner would have been in some deep doodoo. When I go out at night or in fog I idle along or run at a slow cruising speed. It was very sad and I feel sorry for the parties involved.

Sad to hear.

It seems like he had a old issue and no longer has a WC, just a brasher with no real purpose.

That is great news; thank you for the information.

So I wonder if the dealers sold any boats?

Twin 06 Honda 225's over 125 hours no problem except for O2 exhaust manifold issue which was covered. These engines are very quiet and get great mpg.

I went to the show last night, here is what I found: It was smaller than last year but seemed to have better variety. 1) A number of larger cruisers including Saber and quite a few Brunswick boats Searay etc. The boats were up to 50 feet. 2) More 23-36 foot fishing boats including a nice Lurrs, Buddy Davies, Yellow Fin, Edgewater, Pursuit, Whaler and Grady. 3) A nice photo guy who was not selling anything but was knowledgeable and let you look at stabilizing binoculars and lens. 4) The typical electronics and marine related equipment. This area was lacking and was smaller. All in all a better show at a better time of the year and a great way to spend a few hours in January.

Is anyone going to the NY Boat Show?

A lot of good boats are made in the USA.

"Penn is very clear about what products are "Made in USA". In their 2010 catalogue, at the top of the page showing any given reel, is a US flag and "Made in USA" indicated. A basic rule of thumb for Penn is that the dividing line is at about $225, with the reels above that line being US made. For the various Japanese mfgs, the dividing line is at around $275-$300 between actual "made in Japan", and made in Maylasia, Viet Nam, Singapore, etc., etc. Penn currently makes 31 different models in the USA, more than any other reel company, and of more than 25 conventional models in development for the 2010 ICAST Show [no guarantee they will all make the cut], the majority will be US made." http://www.thehulltruth.com/sportfishing-forum/257508-penn-international-50vsw-reel-vs-shimano-tld-50ii-lrsa.html

I was sad to see Budweiser go, but we still have Sam Adams and a lot fine Wine made in the USA. My favorite beer is Blue Point on tap.
