They are nice boats but are over priced. $70k and then they’re in the ballpark.

Good for you,I wonder why they are still listing it?I'm with "Brutus" having owned both IO and outboard ,it would be very hard to go back to an IO. If another bigger boat is in my future it will be single diesel and shaft drive.

Not everyone wants to go out on the west coast of Van Isle. I understand your point but gel coat stress cracks are not necessarily structural issues or anything to worry about.

They’ve got some major issues with their construction. I can’t tell you first hand what it is that goes on them but have some mechanic friends that stressed don’t touch them with a stick. It’s too bad as they have a great layout and lines.

As stated. Great layout, horribly built.
I got a few questions, why outboard vs inboard? From what I can see an outboard is super expensive, for parts, if you can even fix them yourself and fuel.
An inboard, for the most part, is basically a car engine with a different cam. Mercury's fuel charts show them getting better fuel economy and if a dual prop even better.
Second the old boats, 80's - 90's Searay, Campion, Fiberform's, Sunrunner's, Double eagles, I still see a lot of them how do they rank?
How is a Volvo leg vs a Merc leg?
Obviously I am looking into another boat, but not with a $40 G motor or $60 G boat, I just don't use it enough and don't guide.

A full repower on an inboard your still looking at 20-25 g for new, rebuilt is 5g and leg is another 3-5 g, so its not way better. Lot more things to go wrong on an IO then a outboard. Plus IO are a ***** to work on, motor is trapped in a doghouse where anything is hard to get at. I did most of the work on all my motors IO and believe me the french curse words where to no end, got my first outboard 4 years ago and its a breeze to work on. As my other post said i will never own a boat with an IO

There is a good reason why boats with IO for most dont sell as quick, all my previous boats i bought because they where cheaper, in the long run to keep then running it ended up costing lot more, and spend a lot of time fixing shitt instead of fishing
