I have looked for months at several So Cal
custom boat builders for a 22-23' walk through
family style ski/recreation boat. I am ready to
order a 23' Caliber 1 Velocity with a 496 mag/Bravo1 outdrive. It comes fully loaded out the door for under $45,000 which pleases me.
My question, do you have any knowledge of the boat or builder I may benefit from by having now as opposed to after I have placed my order and parted with some money?

I dont know much about the maker, but how much more for the 496 HO? A little more speed just in case you need it. (or want it)

Upgrade to the HO shouldn't cost more than $3,000, and SHOULD cost less.

And that's more than I pay for MY ho. :D

...as opposed to after I have placed my order and parted with some money? Does this mean that you need to write a check for your down payment once you place your order? I can understand giving a deposit, but if it were me I wouldn't give the entire down payment until the boat is complete or at least 95% complete..

How long until it's finished after the order has been placed? :confused:

Hildy,
Is it the 230 Velocity like in my avatar? If so, I have some knowledge about the boat (and the process you'll soon be going through). If it's the new 25' Velocity that I hear he's tooling/building, then I don't know anything about that boat.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions, 714-448-4646.

Whipped Caliber is selling his 230 velocity right now. low hours / like new (brand new actually) and runs about 90 mph. I'd get in touch with him if you like that boat. Get a lot more boat for about the same money it would take to upgrade to the HO. Got all the extras as well decent stereo, 4 optima batteries, big dana tabs etc..
PM him, trust me you won't regret it.
RD If I was in the market, this is the kind of deal I'd look for.
