Two boats I saw at this weekends Newport Boat Show interested me.
The first was the Imperial VC200 which has already been commented
on. The second was a boat called a Citation 2100. It is a 21'
cuddy with a OMC outdrive powered by a Ford 302 at 185 HP. The
hull has a 5 year warranty and the powertrain has a 1 year warrany.
I liked the boat because it didn't have carpet and a lot of excessive
trim. Seemed to fit my needs/wants. List price was $18k w/o trailer.
Any comments/opinions on this boat or the dealer (Hi-Way Camper
located somewhere in Conn. near Mass border)
thanks,
tim

I was real unimpressed by the quality of workmanship I saw on the
Citations at the N.E. boatshow. I think that the VC215 for $14,695 at
Heavencraft is a much better buy with better fit and finish. I have no
idea how either are in the water. The VC215 has great freeboard. The
dealer isn't highly recommended, but few are in this file. Besides it
seems that worst people there have left.

A comment on OMC Cobra outdrives:
The recent issue of Seaworthy (a Boat U S publication) notes that
OMC agrees there is a problem with the Cobra outdrives.
In that "at times it may jump into gear" they agree it is
caused by improper installation and improper adjustme
If anyone would like a copy of the article, pls. send me
your mail stop etc. and i'll send out a copy.
