    I haven't heard anything about that, but even if they did it won't affect supply

    I tried finding info...

    on their 300xs on their website last night and it didn't show anything bigger than the 250 except the Verado's.
    I googled it and it took me there but not sure why.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
