Thanks for all the info guys. Very helpful I must say. But sadly, I saw the boat on Friday and was not impressed. Its a nice boat for sure, if it hadnt been neglect for who knows how many years. The last registration on it was from 03, and the guy selling said he ran it 1.5-2 years ago. I'm no genius, but I think his math is a bit off..... The ad said it was "very clean" and of course it was not. It needed a bunch of mechanical clean up, new belts, hoses, etc.. the drives looked like hell, the interior even worse. And not to mention some cracks and peeling in the gel coat on the hull. Too bad it wasn't "very clean" or I would have bought it that day. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Thank you all again for the info. I do really appreciate it.
