There is a place here in Austin that will build one for you I bet.

What’s the name of the place in Austin?

Bartlett Sails. They do good work - had them do the surf pockets and stuff in my Bimini. It won’t be dirt cheap though!

You cant even begin to imagine the marine related shortages we are seeing. Demand is still super high and covid is still creating some production and shipping shortages. On top of that, if its a processor with micro chips, good luck getting it any time soon. We may not see some amplifier models until September.

Remember when owning a boat was cheap and easy??

In 1979. Then I was born that November and prices around the world went up on everything. Sorry guys.

I remember my dad's first couple boats....$1,000/foot was darn near the rule of thumb.....

Amen there. If you spent $1500 a foot it was a beauty. Now we are $7-8000 per foot.

Exactly...in the mid 90's for my dad it was a Bayliner for $1k/foot or the Chris-Craft for $1.5k/foot!

Spot on. I have the original sales receipt for our 19’ slalom boat and it was at like 18k with the trailer. The upgrade to the v8 and stainless prop was 600 bucks all in.

At that time I think the master craft direct drive was in the mid 20s and it was sooooooooo expensive. Lol

The good old days.

So far this year I have replaced three different types of fuel filters, two types of oil filters, two types of impellers, circulating water pump, ballast pumps, ballast, shift cable, platform light and an actuator. Didn’t have to wait for anything. Guess I should consider myself lucky.

Was once looking to buy a used 2012 Z3.
This forum has been a great tool to have before and after my purchase.
