  1. Ya, I read that online as well. Also heard the parts situation was improving. Not sure how true this is. The boat will live up north and there's a local dealer for both Yammy and Suk. Should be covered either way.
  2. Yep, it's between a Yammy and Zuk. Leaning more towards the Zuk, since they offer a 6yr warranty. Wonder if Yammy will step up on the warranty in '09?
  3. Ok. Kinda answered my own questions, with some help.. Found more details on dealer website. Dom 175 Sport: 2XB HULL THICKNESS .080"/.080", 2+2 seats Trophy 175: 2XB HULL THICKNESS .100"/.100", convertible bow, 3+2 seats
  4. Thanks... So the specs are more comprehensive in the printed material than website?
  5. Far as I can tell from website, the Dom Sport has walk through windshield, like the Trophy. Also noticed the front storage is a little different, closed vs open in the Trophy. What I'm really wondering if the construction is beefy'r (sp?) on the Trophy.
  6. Anyone know the difference between the Dominator and Trophy? Far as I can see, weight and load capacity are higher on the Trophy which leads me to believe the construction is slightly different.
  7. 6K that's kind of ridiculous. Goes to show ya, it really pays to shop around. Here's what Alumacraft send in regards to "closest" dealers in/around Ottawa. MOTO SPORT ST. JEROME, INC WALSTEN MARINE I've talked to a few dealers, some mentioned here and a couple others up north. Ya know, the thing that bugs me the most is these dealers almost hold you hostage if you really want an Alumacraft. No movement at all on price. Speak to a dealer in the US, and they'll wheel and deal no problem. Far as I can see, buying new in the US is attractive from a price perspective but the trade off would be service or denied warranty service from the CDN dealer. Also I believe the warranty on the "new" motor would be invalid.
  8. Nice outfit Lots of outfits state side, ooohh what I give to have to live in Minnesota for a couple of months. Them and Lunds are like hockey and beer up here. Probably since the're made in MN. Too bad they're not well represented here in the east, like Crestliner. Anyhow, wondering if anyone bought a unit in the US which still had warranty on the OB. Yamaha and Suzuki are my front runners. I suspect the warranty is lost, but thought I'd ask. I have a message into Alumacraft to see where they stand.
  9. Thanks alot guys. This gives me options. I as well might wait it out for the boat show but am following a few used market leads. Originally was looking at HarberCrafts, seems to be highly regarded, solid, no frills outfit. Though the price is nowhere near the Trophy's. Fortunately I had the opportunity to fish out of a 175 this summer, very solid boat even in the 2-3ft rollers.
  10. Hey all, I'm a new member to the forum and have learned much from all the posted. I'm looking at getting a Trophy 175.. Anyone know of a dealer near Ottawa? Thanks...
