How much is too much?
What is Fays & Thurstons definition of too big & too much HP? Thurstons sells Cobalts & they have a 36' cruiser in their line that can have as much as 1050 HP, I know for a fact Thurstons has sold a 360 cruiser this year because there was one docked in MVYC earlier this summer with Thurstons employees installing accessory equipment. If any one of us goes to Thurstons & says we want to buy the Cobalt 360 with the twin 525 HP engines, are we going to be turned away because they feel its too much, no way!
Fays sells Chapparal boats & they have a 35' cruiser in their line with as much as 750 HP cable of terrorizing & knocking around his sailboat customers if the operator was so inclined. Right now on this web site classified section there is a 330 Chapparal cruiser for sale by Fays, I guess we know by Fays definition 33' cruisers are not too big. If any one of us goes to Fays & says we want to buy the 350 cruiser with the twin 375 HP engines, are they going to say no we will not sell you that boat because my sailboat customers are terrified of 35' cruisers loaded with HP, no way!
Is either Thurstons or Fays going to say in mid July that we have sold too many boats already and the lake is very crowded so we are shutting down our sales operation for the remainder of the season, no way!
Who are these two kidding?
