![]() "Dene" wrote in message ... Here is my boat. We paid 20k for it. Other than a prop, it has required no upkeep. http://tinyurl.com/7vaya Here is the boat we're considering.... http://tinyurl.com/c6orm Here are the reasons why..... 1. 6'5" enclosed cabin. The only reason to go below is to sleep or use the enclosed head. Whereas on my pocket cruiser, I have to crouch everywhere. 2. Supposedly more fuel efficient with the dual prop outdrive. Definitely tracks better at slower speed. 3. All weather, windowed cabin instead of canvas, more suitable for the Pacific NorthWest. 4. Quieter, due to foamed hulls. 5. Dialed in with all the electronic goodies. Downside......$465/mo. vs. $183/mo. What do you fellas think? -Greg My opinion? Forget the single engine outdrive and invest your money in a twin engined inboard with rudders. You will never look back. RCE |

Did notice another listing with a pair of 150 hp Evinrudes. -Greg |
