    Going to look at a new toy.....

    Hi all, need some advice.. I'm going to be looking at a '98 Searay 190 br. I've had absolutely NO experience with "fun" boats, I've only owned fishing boats over the years, and don't consider myself to be a complete newbie when it comes to water. I've just never had a I/O or anything more...
