What can anybody tell me about the new Abaco's coming out? Understand from Scout newsletter they introducing new 34' in Feb 2006. Does anyone know the specs and is this the only the larger Abaco, seems a big leap from the 28? I know this is the right place to check with the Scout experts.
There will be a new 26' based on the 260 sportfish hull out soon as well as that 34. It would be nice to something else between the 28 and the 34, and I'm sure that it will happen. Just give them some time.
The specs of the 34'er are, they don't know yet. It's expected to do 50MPH with twin outboards (300's) which will be the first design complted. It will most likely be followed by a twin diesel version from what one of their sales rep's told me. The hull has been completed, they are currently designing the top end of it. From the pics it looks VERY instersting.
That's why they fired him. After spending 8 years in a 2 year JR college marine design class, that is the best design that he could come up with. I think that he is scratching his head trying to figure out where to put the Parker brand sticker on that thing (when Scout blew him off, he tried to sell his new design to Parker, but they laughed too).
In order to save our valuable fossil fuels, Scout engineers have found a way to remove the last quart of fiberglass from their wildly popular "Blowfish 34". This move has been hailed by Tom Daschal and other leading Democrats as "patriotic".
In house design team test pilot Billy-Bob Wannamaker aka "Hoyt" (seen in photo) was overheard to say, "Well, at least this SOB has a deck above water level"
Un-named sources (actually some "passed over" FBI Democrats) were quoted as saying "Hoyt" has not been right ever since contracting a rare moldy toe gel disease called "soggy foot"
