Re: Question for you Brokers
By the early 2000s they did come up with some interesting stuff. A number of their MYs had enclosed shaft and skegs to reduce drag. We don't has the C32s require large shaft but they use the enclosed shaft up to C30s. Neat
They also spent a lot of time on soundproofing and vibration isolations. The one feature which still amazes me is that the 84 doesn't have trim tabs yet pops on plane with just 2 degree bow rise. Instead of tabs they use a thin strip of stainless steel, extending down about a 1/4" where the tabs would be. Apparently dick Lazzara used to tweak every single boat to get th very best performance and balancePascal

Re: Question for you Brokers
And yet another reason why brokers get a bad reputation. There are an awful lot of really good brokers out there. Probably more good than bad. BUT, the ones that behave like used car salesmen give the industry a black eye. You have a deposit on the boat, your survey has gone well to this point, so the pressure is on the seller not you. Tell the broker to go pound salt.
