She is a heavy beast that can tame the seas, lands gently when launched which isn't easy to do with this big boat.
I am still in awe and it has been almost a week. If I was rich I would have one but with a sticker of $360,000.00 I will have to just settle for rides on one.

It's not the boat payment but the fuel cost.. quad 250's or trip 300's or 350's and she holds 630 gallons, that's roughly $2700.00 per fill up.... and roughly 4 gph per engine at 4000 rpm...
Also I am surprised boat builders are still jockeying to build the biggest boat with outboards, with the hard times with the economy and fuel issues... It's a buyer's market out there now in the used boat world especially in Fla.
I have a YachtWorld boat search email every monday for certain boat brands from 28' to 30' and what was 150K 18 months ago is now 90k all with low hrs, the boats on my list are Stamas, Donzi, Edgewater, Pursuit and Intrepid, all are walk arounds.
It won't be long if the economy stays this way that boat manufacturers will be closing... in case you have not heard SeaPro shut it's doors and Trophy will take over warranty work... Also another popular Fla maufacturer Palmetto boats also closed. I do believe both were owned by Genmar and I am sure SeaPro will be back as soon as the economy is stable, it was a very popular boat on the east coast.
