Well, I for one am looking forward to having more and more V-drives drop into that $10k to $20k range. While my sunsport will kinda do everything the $100k boats will, there are most certainly things that I want out of a newer boat that mine doesn't have:
  • Fuel Injection
  • V-drive
  • Rear storage lockers which will allow the installation of HIDDEN hard plumbed auto ballast.


That's more or less it. But being able to sack it up for surfing without having to manually fill bags and without having bags laying around everywhere taking up people space. Being able to fill/drain on the fly so you're not wasting ride time or daylight waiting for your ballast.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Sunsport and it's been a pretty versitle and amazing boat that I don't regret. But my future is in a v-drive.
