    Default I've defected.

    New boat finally arrived. I've been shopping all summer and the right deal finally came up. I wanted to stick with Skiiers Choice (Was looking hard for a deal on a 242 or new MOJO) but just couldn't find the right boat in my price range. Plus, the BU w/ the illusion tower has always been one of my dream boats.



    I still plan on sticking around here, though. I know vintage Supras pretty well and I'm still excited to see what all you crazy people are up to.

    And no, Cadunkle -- I will not be tearing all the fuel-injection off and replacing with a big block ford with a carb.

    Congrats. Boat looks great. I totally agree with the screens. They are going to be a huge headache down the road.

    I agree. Most of these new boats are under warranty. How will those unit perform in 5yrs? 10yrs?

    What's the cost going to be?

    When I read these forums, it appears to be a software update/reset, then the unit gets swapped out.

    My last iPad only lasted 3 years. I do not have kids beating on it and it was not abused. Then the board goes badinage day. So $250 in parts or just buy a new unit? Not a Apple fan to start with.
