Re: I think I found one...
Wanted to add: It is perfectly acceptable and recommended to pay a premium price for a "cream puff". That boat appears to qualify for "cream puff" status. Do not worry if you find the same make and model cheaper elsewhere, you'll be hard pressed to find a better maintained boat than that one appears to be. It still looks new to me.<br /><br />A stainless steel 4 blade prop would be my first change if it were mine. I could not believe the difference it made in my old 21 foot, 5.0 Merc powered boat when I went from a 23" aluminum 3 blade to a 20" SS 4 blade. Top speed went up 3 MPH, holeshot improved dramatically, and midrange punch (30 to 50 MPH) felt like a muscle car.<br /><br />Funny story about selling that old boat: During the test drive, I told the guy who bought it from me to "punch it" while we were cruising at 30 MPH. The big silly grin on his face as he was pressed into the back of the seat told me it was sold... He still has it and we're still friends.
