In Response To: Re: Liberty Boats (Walter Kaprielian)

Bunch of us Faithful crawled all over that one at the FLL show last October. Twin 800 hp. MANs. Should haul ass and very economical if you own a lot of Exxon stock. B31 type motor boxes, but seeing those 800's under them was a sight. I'm used to seeing my Cummins 6BTA 250's under there, a pretty impressive sight, but the 6 cyl in-line MAN 800's are BIG. The interior was nice, but not a whole lot bigger than a B31 FBC - well, yeah, a lot bigger, but laid out about the same, but not enough bigger to justify the $1MM price tag. Would I trade AJ even for the Liberty? Yeah, probably would, just so I could go 45 kts for once in a good looking boat, but would have a back door deal to trade back into my beloved AJ so I could go fishing without hocking my ass. We all dream, but if you don't, you gonna miss life folks. After all, we all gonna wake up dead one day.
