Get ready to pony up another 2-10 thousand on those new boats boys...

Buy your 2009 while it's available!

This is one of the leading reasons I hang on to my boat even at a time when I can't use it much.

Absolutely. If 2010 doesn't give significant improvements in design across boat manufacturers, but addsa 2-10k price increase...

Our resale values just jumped a little.

That being said, resale values are pretty much in the basement already. So, we only have one direction to go.

Anything to stop owners removing the catalytic converters and having a free flow exhaust as a result? Presumably there are no yearly checks on emissions on boats like there are on cars.

How about designing a gas filler that does not puke all over the lake or swim platform first??

When was the last time you saw a gas overflow with a car?? Seems simple.

$2700 for a catalytic converter :shock: I'm in the wrong business!!!
