Sweet. A guy that works with me has a early 2000's Outrage 26. Very nice boat. Much drier ride than our Contender. For part of last summer the slip next to ours was occupied by a brand new Outrage 370 with trip 300 Mercs. Nice boat but for half a million I would buy a used Viking or Cabo in the 40-45 foot range. No way I would pay that for a center console. I only trailer our boat maybe 4 or 5 times a year. Usually just to the marina then to storage. Sorry to hijack the thread.

The Vette wouldn't make it out in the woods to get picture with the daily. 130k Miles and runs great, but sucks gas down at 17mpg.

How do you like that Lacrosse? I think they are drop-dead gorgeous and seem like quite the car, but I have yet to hear from an actual owner.

It is a dream to drive - it is perfect for Canadian Winter as it is front wheel drive and has really good handling and ride (with the 19's and self adjusting suspension). It can be optioned to the hilt and provides enough room for the family - took it on a drive to California from Toronto last Summer and it was a blast.

It's definitely a looker. I checked it out closely at the auto show and liked a lot of things about it. Now if only GM would do moonroof panels that slide into the roof instead of over it...

What a beautiful car. My fiance really wants one bad. We have even talked about selling our MB SL550 to get one. I wish they would put the CTS-V motor in it. I think it would sell. Buick is coming out with a turbo'ed Regal. They new Regal isn't bad looking either but the Lacrosse is sweet. I am fighting to keep the SL though.

The Whaler is a great boat! But you are right, if you're going to spend 500K on a boat, I would not do a center console. I love the 34 Conquest, though! As a weekend water junkie, the 26 Outrage is perfect. My son tows the jetskis with his Xterra and we have a great day on the water!!
If you live in S FL, or really anywhere in FL, how can you not get out on the water and enjoy!

BMW's in sedan and SUV formats cover all the basis! But still the C6 is my primary DD unless the weather really sucks or I need more seating or cargo space.
