John,

Good stuff. It gives me a focus for the AC show.

Just for fun, do you think a 23 OB can be converted to a diesel jet drive like you saw?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just for fun, absolutely. This boat was very close to exactly what you ask. But, the guy did say the balance of the hull was not optimum on the stock 23 because of the weight. But it is certainly doable...

John,
I saw that scout Abbaco 242 at a show here in Naples this weekend. $66,900 with a 4 stroke yammie [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I almost sh!t myself. I know that boats are getting more expensive because I sell them, but 66,900 for a barely 24 ft cuddy? I was taken aback. I guess someone can buy them or they wouldn't be building it.
