Unfortunately, Melyea, I'd guess he's joking.... That's a sad reality about boats and upgrading.. figure that Steve would need to spend $200K or more to make the switch, if you realistically quantify what he'd gain (over what he's already got) seems to me it's hard to justify... esp if he's upgraded his existing boat with goodies the 'new' one doesn't yet have.

Seems that would be an incredible gift rating.

Ahhh... now you get to the rub of many C400 owners. The answer to your question lies in a riddle:

What is the draft of a Mark II C400? (It is a trick question).

Bwahaha! Good come back, but now you are on my 'list'!! I think a picture of me drinking a beer at noon on a weekday in my swimtrunks at 75 degrees in azure water ought to do it...
