    I found it hard to believe someone would care about the trailer paint when they just bought a 500K++ boat with no paint on it.... It would be similar to a new Kia owner calling you to protect the front end with the invisible shield stuff you sell. Doesn't make sense.....

    i do many KIA as well as Hyundai, I never question them as long as they are paying ...why wouldn't a KIA owner want to protect their investment? T them that is their Benz/bmw/ferarri.

    From an business owner's standpoint you are 100% right, take everybody's money. From an economics standpoint that KIA/Hyundai is depreciating rapidly and whether or not it has a few rock chips it will not affect resale a dime.....on the other hand a high line that is perfect will bring a few thousand more than a rock chip one. I have seen people half way through a payment book on a korean car and still be 20% upside down.....those cars are disposable.

    Look a your demographics, the KIA Hyundai owner has probably just financed their first new car... they went to the dealer, picked one out and drove it home... to them it is a MAJOR MILESTONE in there life. The payment is also probably a much large chunck of their gross income percentage wise, and a much greter chunk of their disposable income than the MB/BMW buyers....

    118MPH is a heck of a number!

    Dont be so quick to judge those "disposable" ones, the used car market for them has exploded. I think that you would be surprised by what people want me to cover on their cars, as phragle said, its a major milestone. As for the trailers, I was at Myco when I bought mine and met with Don about film kits for the trailers, the reason it is so important on the painted ones is they are steel, paint chips lead to rust on steel, even more so in salt water..like I said don't be so quick to judge

    Rob,

    My buddy had his Myco re-painted last year and they travel a lot with the boat so he had the trailer covered!

    Idk about that... I also find that hard to believe...
    How much does that boat weigh? Gear ratio? Props?

    Also, is it 43' overall including bustle?

    We have a SV 43 with the upgraded pulleys and increased rev limiter and that boat runs 124mph, 117-118 is the stock number.

    I have a very well off friend who buys two new Hyundais every two years, gives the old ones to his kids, calls them the Bic Razor of cars. Says it works out great...

    My buddy just did that with his wife/kid. Bought wife a Kia SUV (kid was a toddler, messy) and told the wife to drive it 25K miles and I will buy you whatever you want and the Kia goes to his 20 year old kid. She has 5K miles left..... He actually did it to hassle her but the Kia has been great, short of warped rotors it hasn't had a service stop yet.
