So there's definitely a debate about boosting 496s...I know kunkels knows checkmates and pro chargers better than anyone. Have they successfully done what others say is not a good idea?

lcboater, a member here, has one that Kunkel's did in his 300 that has 400-500 trouble free hours on it since they ProCharged it. I know they have done quite a few others as well. I was talking to Jason one day about the 496's cause I was contemplating doing one in my Dad's boat and he loves the motors. Its like anything else, if you take the time to set it up right, it'll run for a long time.

I would never order a new boat w- those colors but the boat is so different.....it's cool! It looks like a very clean boat for a very reasonable price. I'm surprised no one has bought it. I bet it's pretty on the wAter w- the sun shining on it.:drool:

Yeah, man. That Rootbeer Flake is pretty. I do not care for the bow lights cut into the hull...too bad.

I agree Sam, I have the same colors on my Starliner, but no bow lights or rails. Everyone loves the way it looks in the sun, especially with the windshield tinted dark. This is the only other Starliner I've seen in rootbeer.
 
Metalflake can make almost anything better!

In fact when you pull up to help a fellow boater who is having trouble and he says "I don't know what's wrong with her" your answer back should be "It needs more Metalflake" in your best Christopher Walken voice.

Did you buy Sims Starliner?
 
My Diplomat is rootbeer color also. I get all kinds of compliments on it at the ramp. I'm sure I'll miss it this summer if it sells.
