Va Beach Boat Show - Page 2

haha, I'm thinkin about gettin that 351 Triton. Depending what they can do for me on a trade-in and a pending sea trial, I may try to get it done next week. Truthfully I never would have considered a Triton, but this boat is just too nice to pass on. I'm a Yamaha guy, but those Verados are just gorgeous. Anyway we'll see how it goes.

Otherwise the show was alright, I was there for around 4 hours. The Reg 34SS was simply badass! Definitley some good deals to be had, that's for sure! I still think some of those guys are just ridiculous in what they're asking for their boats (Edgewater, Albemarle, Whaler, Southport) but I guess that's always gonna be the case.

I was Extremely impressed with the Scout 262 CC. That is one hell of a boat; the quality, fit and finish is just sooo nice, and for around $89K, you can't beat it.

I didnt see a high price on anything when I was at the show. Everything was priced low!?!?!

I don't know, I think the Edgewater CC's are too high, as well as the Grady's. But yeah, I suppose they were all pretty much reasonable, I guess I've always thought those brands were overpriced. For what they were asking for the Scout 262, I don't think you can beat it.

I've also decided to pass on the Triton. With all the used boats on the market, I don't see me buying new. I think I'm gonna look for a used Luhrs express under 60K.

I was a little surprised to see a 28' Albemarle with outboards on it.

That 28 is what im going to see next sunday over at marina shores. Im thinking about trading the coastal in on it. But the only reason is cause of the outboards. Was a good show, I took the 330 Sundancer out on sunday, To big of boat, but definatly a nice craft. I just think the albi is a better fit. It was a good show . I went friday afternoon right after they opened at noon. Had the show to my self and a few other people that was fantastic.

Yo, you need to call your Albi guy and tell him to throw the CC in the water too, I want to ride her.

I don't think so.
