Default Convertible/Express Builder Pics

Are there going to be any pics of Cabo or any others of the Convertible/Sportfish market.

I was really wanting to see some pics of the 36 Cabo.

I just want to prepare myself now if I am not going to see the names of Viking,Ocean, etc on the Miami Photo list.

What did you think of the 52C and the 36 Express. I still think the 43 is the best overall package for its size in the line up.

I sea trialed the 43 at last year's show. I also sea trialed a 45 Viking a week after (personal boat). The 43 is the best boat between 40-45 ft. Period. Incredible ride, huge cockpit, roomy interior, and mighty fast with 900 CR MANs.

That 52 is nice, but hopefully it's better than the 48 flybridge they build (disaster).

Cabo 52 is nice altough I see it a bit empty in this picture
but my general question is how much does it cost? Defintly for that money if the difference is not much I will surely prefare the Hatt 54 Con or new Bertram 540
both of these looking awesome really

This is a very nice boat,it looks empty because they did'nt get the tower on her in time. I love the mezzanine seating.

This boat has 1675hp engines and did around 41 knots,in my opinion that is not all that good for the given hp,plus it does'nt have a tower and enclosure to slow it down. Price was $2.3mil. Cabo makes a sturdy,well thought out boat and I can't knock them.

I have many hours running a 52 Viking with 1300 Mans and we can see 39 knots any time with enclosure.

for 2.3 million I will sure prefare the Hatt 54 or the new Bert
Viking offered me the 54 at 1.8 US$ in Genoa, the deck aft cockpit is unbeatable for the Vik really, if you see it from behind it is real an unbeatable boat

1.8 shows how bad the market is I quoted a guy 2.2 late last year.

you should look at the 43 Egg, great boat, 15' beam, 3'6" draft, 16 degree deadrise. The hulls on the cabo 40 and Egg 43, were both designed by michael peters.
I am in the process of purchasing a used 43 Egg, with Cat C 12's

This what a Tournament Express should look:

And they need to have a fish box that can actually hold Big Fish:

And this is only 2/3rds open in the photo.

To have a $400,000 swing in prices for the same product just shows how absurd many of the asking prices really are!
