Four Winns had 2 bow riders & there V305 there. I wanted to see more!!

Has any one seen the Jeanneau line of power boats? The NC9 & 11. Very different layout to other boats! Cabin, helm & deck seats move to give you the best seating layout depending on were you want to seat, inside or outside. It has a powered sunroof with shades.

There engines for this boat, they only come in diesils. There 37' twin engine at 24knots uses as much fuel as my V258 at the same speed. There NC9, the 30' uses about 6gph at 22knots.

We are selling our house & moving closer to work & family. The house we are looking for would be a bit smaller too! So my wife says, rather than buying a smaller home, lets buy a bigger boat and live on it. So now were toying with that. the pros & cons. We own income prop, so we have a place to store things.

There are a bit pricey, the fuel savings will offset it a little, but the functionalty of this boat is way more than any other that I have ever seen!

Get any pics Paul? And did the V305 have the "cheaper" looking woodwork inside or the cherry? I know someone posted some pics here of the interior (Cap'n Morgan?) and it left a lot to be desired...

No pics, sorry! I was dispapionted that the 33 & 35 footer was not there. The v305 was there last year & really didn't care for it.

Sorry for your dissappointment but we had a great year this year and all we have in stock for big boats is the V305. We brought the F224 because we sell a ton of them here in the Bay and then we had two Yamaha Jet boats since they are the number one selling boat in the US in their sizes and we sold 20+ units of them this year. The V305 has the lighter wood because when we ordered it cherry was not an option, the dark wood was almost jet black and did not look good in a boat that size.

The Kid,
You will sell even more Yammie jet boats, now that your competition (BRP/SeaDoo) is exiting the sport boat market. So your main competition will be the new Sea Ray jet boats to be released next month. I suspect the V305 you had was the same one you got last year, correct?

Paul, I have looked at the NC11 and it is a design I really like.

You should also consider the Cruisers 41 Cantius if you like that style boat.

If you plan on living on board, I would rule out a 33 to 35 express cruiser. The cave like cabin is really not designed for being a live aboard. It can work, but better for shorter stays than a flybridge of pilot house/sport coupe design.

If you win the lottery, take a look at the new Beneteau Swift Trawler 50. Awesome new trawler with IPS pods, and is an ideal live aboard and cruising/fishing boat. Semi displacement hull, designed specifically for the IPS drives. The Swift 50 will be on display Sept. 25-30 at the Baltimore TrawlerFest, Oct. 11-14 at the Annapolis Powerboat Show and Oct. 25-29 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Ditto the NC11 design. The Cantius 41 would be by choice tho. All it would take is a lottery win. And it's on sale! $50,000.00 off retail!!!!! ($750,000.00->

To up the ante just a bit, Cruiser's will debut the third model in the line at Ft. Lauderdale next month.
The Cantius 45. Also powered with IPS pod drive diesel's.

Yes Cap'n the V305 is the one from last year.... and YES we are excited to have Sea-doo out of the jet boat market.. We couldn't get enough Yamaha boats last year.. so I'm going to say we will sell out yet again this year

I was on the NC-9 & the 11. Very nicely done!! The best of all, there diesels! They have a NC-11 repo in CT., we are going to look at it next week. There asking 300K for it, way too much! Hoping to get them down, way down!
