Well you guys were right. I stayed away from that sunbird and tonite i bought a different boat. 1996 four winns coast runner 203. Its a 20 footer with a 96 150 evinrude saltwater pro. 2001 trailer with brakes and washdown port. total price = 5500. the book for the combo is over 10 grand. I am delighted. What do you think of my deal? Anything particular i need to know about the motor...or the boat itself. Oh yea and it has a full bridge enclosure! Ill try and get some pictures tomorrow. Well over the past two summers i went from a 85 carvelle trihull with a 40, 1985 glastron with a 90 merc, to this. This is the first non-rotted boat i purchased too. not bad for a poor college student huh. thank for listening guys...im just so pumped right now
