Call me crazy, but I like the looks of that! That price doesnt seem horrible either.......but I guess it is a salty.


What are you saying about salty boats? Looks to be lift kept...and barely used, should be a great boat. Price isn't bad...but I'd go with a few year old 318 vs that for a bit less cash. Oh wait...I did :mrgreen:

Interesting styling...I prefer that of the 268/318 myself.

How does this joystick work with sterndrives?

Check out this video. It is pretty awesome and I think the next boat I own will have one.

Looks cool, but I wonder how much it costs versus how many times I would actually need it not to mention it looks like another thing to break.

That is true, and for the fact that it is only a year old it would have been hard to neglect that badly. I would just be worried with a used boat, buying one that was in salt water a lot. You dont know whether or not the person flushed the engine or not and I would worry about corrosion. By the way, I'm not quite ready for the upgrade anyways :lol:

These have been out for nearly 10 years now. I don't know how much more they cost, but I'm sure there is someone on this board that knows how much the option was to add it. The idea of eliminating stress at the end of the day is well worth the money to me. I am too nervous when docking still. My wife wont even attempt it, so something like this might make her feel more comfortable. It takes all the guess work out of steering and throttle control.

The VP joystick control is a $20,000 option. And is only available on twin engine sterndrives.

WOW!!! That is quite a bit of $$$. If I'm buying used though and it is on the boat already, then it will be worth it :wink:
