Unibody construction... safer, but are totalled way easier...

the fact that the back got pushed into the passenger seating area (where child carseats reside) doesn't really seem to support the "safer" theory...

4,500lbs at 30mph plus the height difference... but if you ran the fucker into a wall it'd be safer than a non-unibody!

That thing actually does look like a roller skate.

I can only imagine what's all around the Great Lakes...I mean there are some nice boats on Lake Norman here and although it's a decent size for a lake it's still just a pond or even a puddle compared to that.

Now when visiting Ft. Lauderdale/Miami...OMG !!!!!! *drool*

Are you talking about mine or the cigs I was talking about? (Well, not mine but...) Its older than you think it is, but i guess boats dont age like other vehicles do. I have been thinking about getting my own soon, but I hear they are giant money pits.

The great lakes are great. Whats amazing is they are all different. Temp, depth, fish.

That is the truth. I have no noticed today that even the salt provides just enough "something" under the tires... Get it rolling, halfway thru the intersection, more throttle... spin em up!

Factory rating is 250 hp / 260 lb-ft with the 5-speed (222 lb-ft w/ the auto).

It's doing about 20# of boost with the Stage 1 upgrade. Even with the limited slip diff in the front end, it's an F'in handfull. Torque steer all over the place. You need to have a good grip on the steering wheel.

Exactly. Todays cars are basically self sacrificing.

Particle... that is what I'm talking about. Nice toaster. I always liked them. They look so sick if you bag em. Of coarse, what doesn't right?!?

Is that PSIA or PSIG boost?

They are money pits. Between tune ups, outdrive work, trailer tires, life jackets, tubes, ski ropes, ski's, wakeboards, competition slalom ski's, and the great thing called gas. My boat holds 55 gallons. They are great, but if you get one, go find one thats about 5 years old that some family never uses anymore.

Here is what I currently have. A 22' open bow Sea Ray, with a 350 Chevy motor.







But I'm saving my pennies for either this houseboat. ( I took these a couple years ago at the Lake Cumberland Poker Run)



Or one of these 3 Outerlimit's. Each one is over $1,000,000

The cigs. Although the other boat you posted a pic of is an awesome boat too no doubt.

Good question. Not sure. Will need to ask. I'm going off my boost gauge in the dash.
