Ok all you B52 owners, I need a little help. Does anyone know if the interior has changed between 2006-2008. I have a call into the factory, but no response yet.

Thanks.

I know the hull & deck changed slightly, the tower was modified but the interior layout I don't think has been changed. However, I am not 100% sure. In 2008 there was a new dash too. I'm sure if you call their number tomorrow you'll be able to get a firm answer. Or Alan S at www.southernskiboats.com is very knowledgeable.

Thanks. I am most concerned with the cushions. Usually of teh hull changed, that means the cushion shapes may also have changed.

Hull is the same, however, the deck changed slightly. They shortened the rear storage compartments by ~ 10", giving the interior more room (as if it needed any more) and probably lengthening some of the cushions.

Also, the cooler is in the middle of the floor (it used to be up front), and the gas tank was pushed forward a bit.

They no longer make the Team Edition (what I have), which added a 500lb tank up in the bow. But the gas tank being moved forward plus being larger, is supposed to help offset it a bit.

Yes hull is the same ith some sight changs in the back of the boat. From what I understand MB uses some of the thickest vinyl in the industry. I do not believe that has changed.
