Tom- still shopping? Still considering cats?

A virtually new dealer demo of one of these is for sale at $95,000.
Two big Honda 4 strokes on the back. (they might let you buy just the
boat for less and you could put 2-strokes on instead). Looks like a
heck of a buy, at least to me. But you'd have to tow it home from
Seattle.

Sorry - missed this first time around.

I'm still looking. It would appear that I'm going to have to
compromise at some point because of engine selections - the boats I'm
most interested in all seem to be powered the same and dealers are
very reluctant to change engines out.

Can't blame them - I understand that they are in a tight squeeze on
inventories and left overs resulting in not taking on additional
inventory.

With respect to the cats, I still have my concerns about them, but at
this point in the search, I would certainly not turn one down if it's
a deal like this - and this is a good deal.

Is the demo boat set up similar to the one in the photos?
