Anyone heard any info on the new boat sanger is putting out?
It is a mini Day and looks like they are using the old molds!

I've talked to two guys who have talked to Sanger and visited and seen the first two hull out of the mold. Beautiful full stinger boats, but a bit pricey--stage III rigged hull without power or trailer--nearly $40K. The first two are being set up as v-drives, but I know that Sanger has built several of their minis (1984/85) with stern drive power, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some built with this option--plus it might be the easiest way to comply with the CARB (California Air Resource Board) 2009 Standards for boats sold in CA. I under stand that Sanger also has several of their classic hull molds, so there may be some other old/new hull possibilities in the future.

$40K, holy crap! by the time you buy a trailer and put in a Bravo I with a 454 or a 502 you're gonna be in a $55K +/- boat , guess they don't want to have to build too many of them.. ???

Yea, I hear you. On one hand, I'm just a cheap skate who has never paid more than about $6K for a turn key boat--about the same as some of the preformance boat guys spend on their stereos--and it sure sounds like alot of money to me. On the other hand, Sanger was getting nearly that for some of their wake board boats a year or two ago and I still hear of socal guys spending $50K+ for some of those newer rides. Actually, I think they are bringing it back because the ski boat market is in the tank and they are hoping to tap back into that classic boat crowd to keep their doors open. Sure makes me think about putting my Sanger v-drive mini up for sale. Probably would sell it for half the replacement cost.
