    Selling boat out of state?

    Had an offer on my boat, buyer is out of state and offered to buy it via check mailed to me. Claims I can wait for funds to clear, and they will arrange pickup/shipping. They also didn’t ask to see it which may or may not be a red flag, but I don’t have much experience selling a cars/boats. Any...

    Supercharged in California?

    In AZ you don’t need an AZ address to register it as you can register it as a non resident, just need to pay a small yearly fee to fish and game. I think it actually ends up being cheaper than CA luxury tax 😃

    Supercharged in California?

    You can register it in Arizona as a non resident as I did. Also I believe there are less restrictions on buying used and registering in CA as I have heard, but not 100% sure on this. I am selling my supercharged AR195 in CA, but it is registered in AZ...

    Thoughts on a single battery setup

    Ran a single quality AGM battery since it was owned. Kept a jump pack for emergency, never saw the need for a second.

    FFS when did boats become soooo expensive!

    Same with performance boats. $200-300k is on the lower end for a performance go fast boat from a custom manufacturer like Eliminator, Howard, Cobra, etc.

    Boat 2018 AR195 For Sale - Southern California

    Ya 40-50 is good. Over 60 starts to feel a bit dicey IMO, especially if any chop. Fun for short bursts though 😃

    Boat 2018 AR195 For Sale - Southern California

    Yup does close to 50MPH as long as you don’t put weight up front. Weight in front will easily scrub another 5MPH off that. My need for speed was too great though as now I have a 22ft catamaran that will do over 80 😃 Water test in Dec or Jan is no problem. It never really gets cold here. Haha.

    Canadian luxury tax.

    Unfortunately the biggest impact will be likely the Canadian boat companies and local dealerships that have reduced sales. Never understood why one would try to increase tax revenue by decreasing people from purchasing or purchasing out of state/country. Similar laws here in California...

    How Yamaha drove me to a Scarab...

    At the time Yamaha had a more powerful engine. That’s why I went that way.
