Boat Show Specials are coming! EPA notes as well
Should be arriving with dealers this week. One of the more exciting items, will be that a dealer has up to 6 weeks BEFORE their show to write deals with the incentives. Once their show is done the incentives go away.
Keep in mind...that in 2011 the EPA is MANDATING that all engines built have to have a CAT(low emmision Catalyzed) engine in them. That will raise prices....alot, on Spring ordered boats, if you wanted a base 325 engine, you need to be calling your dealer soon. The 325 base engine WILL SOON BE GONE. The above incentive of early boat show deals is designed to help dealers presell boats before the new CAT engines is required. Indmar built ahead some engines, but in general the NON Cat engine(less cost, roughly $2,200) will be gone by Feb, depending on demand.
Just so you know. See you at the shows.

That should be a big incentive at the shows. Manufactorers need to get the word out to buy now rather than later.

maybe as a noise reducer? never heard it, but would have to believe there are some sound level benefits to it.

You will still market it the same way, the exhaust that is giving you a head ach is still so low the Cats will not stop that. If you got a headach behind the boat before a cat, you will still get it after the cat.
The cat is there to clean the hydro carbons and raw fuel out of your exhaust, is the carbon monoxide that is giving you the headach.
Normal air quality is 21% oxygen and when carbon monoixide is added from an engine that percentage can drop to 19% very quickly and at that rate you get headachs, feel more tired and dont think as clearly as normal.
We have been thinking of getting a FAE because we tend to get the ehadachs but i dont want to lose the sound of my engine..Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

never had anyone complain of a headache at any time. that would put a major damper on the day..
have the 340extcat, so maybe that's why
even in a "value" line like the moomba/axis, I would not think that a $2200 price increase would be a dealbreaker especially with the selling feature of 15hp additional and the environmental benefits of the cat.

I can't believe that it will cost $2200 more to make it standard. If that is the only way you can make an engine (with a CAT), the numbers produced go up and usually the price comes down.
