Anything 7 marine powered is worth less than Yamaha/Mercury at this point just from a maintenance/parts perspective.
The 65 CC has a shallower draft and is likely easier to handle than a traditional sportfish. Its also faster. I'd like to see a 65 CC pull up to a waterfront bar like Two Georges and try to tie up for lunch.......unless its a Tuesday there won't be any dock space for that size boat.

Ironically yeah you are right as far as a tie-up boat, there is an Estrella out at Peanut and Key Lime all the time. There are usually 2-3 people on it - thats it. I always joke about the guy becasue he looks bored. Please elaborate on what bars have enough room to park more than one 65 foot boat.... ? LOL If you are going "bar hopping" why are you doing it in a 65 foot boat. Isnt a 30-40 enough and a chitload easier? I mean, shouldnt they just use a tender? There isnt a single bar from lauderdale to jupiter that can even fit a 65 on an ordinary weekend. Just because you can doesnt mean you should....

An 60 Viking is a way nicer boat they are beautiful inside with a proper engine room with big engines that can rumble no outboard trolling engines on the transom either plus the flybridge is a very cool place to drive from

those outboards and center console design will not be able to run in the ocean conditions the big Viking can those big diesels in her belly make a low center of gravity that eats waves and does it every day the outboards can not take that
