Yea,
I think it's pretty bad azz myself. I have to get use to all that yellow though. The whole cockpit liner and sun deck is yellow also. Of course, I got use to my "Miami Vice" colors on my 33.

Just started the back and forth. You know; "I can only go this low, but let me go talk to my manager." I am pretty close to where I want to be just have to get him to include the trailer in the deal.

Good looking boat. With all that Red & Yellow you will be "Crayola Crazy II".
Is Eagle still in the trailer business? I always thought they built a quality product, but thought I heard they were gone?
Keep us updated, hope the deal goes well.

Great looking 36! You WILL get used to the yellow, and then you will wonder how you were ever happy with Miami Vice colours at all (not that your ī98 boat isnīt a cool boat, too) Thats just how it works with paint schemes! However getting used to being even 5 mph slower, even if you donīt run WOT very often. Thatīs difficult! And giving up the blue motor bonus is....a real tough one!
But the yellowbird does look cool...........
Do it!

Cool looking boat,you could modify the 496's to get some speed back. If your used to going 78 and can only go 68 it will SUCK though. You can not go backwards (at least I can't). My boat now runs between 88-93 depending on load and prop,my bud bought a 28 ft checkmate with a 525sc single,I was excited to drive it because it was something new and different. It just felt like you were crawling though and was a big let down,felt gutless. 78 mph is a respectable speed ,68 puts you back in most typical boats leauge. I don't always run my boat close to max speed or anything but like they say,you can never go back,Smitty

I really like the looks of the 36. Why don't you have them put the 500's in the 36 and the HO's in the 33. Win win! After owning a Blue Motor, I would never go back to any stock Merc offering!

Buy the 36 and put some CMI exhaust and some other minor work and you'll be in the mid seventies.
