No, really... Why spend another 3 or 4 grand, when for $850 you can gain (in my case) 85 H.P.
Just an idea!
It's either a 200 or 250 HP L Verado (4 stroke). Basically plan on taking the family and extended family (at times) out. Could be up to 15 people but mostly will end up being 9 or 10. Goals are to cruise around, hit some coves, hang out, maybe fish some. Farthest I see myself going out is about 15 miles one way. Basically stick around the upper chesapeake bay area.

Where are you going to be? I am in North East, MD at Hances Point.
At least, I will be next year!
