@Maybe A Dancer and @ttmott this is excellent info. Much appreciated.
Dancer, never thought about the pilings needing to be wrapped. Will definitely want to do that. All other recommendations will be strongly considered as well.
Regarding budget, I was 'hoping' to be at $20k but that's...
I like @ttmott's concise description above and it could help form your counter-argument.
That said, it's all about who blinks first. When I sold my boat it was a hot market. I made it clear prior to the survey that the only thing I'd consider covering were any unknown major item that the...
We're closing on a new place in Clearwater Beach on the 30th. It has a slip but no lift. I'm trying to get educated about lifts as quickly as possible as I want to pull the trigger on one ASAP as I've been told there's an easy 3 month waiting list. I want at minimum a 10K pound unit to support...
@Skybolt, Always loved the TR6. My favorite Triumph. Yours looks beautiful. I can't believe someone would key a classic like that.

Those 6.2's are crammed into a pretty tight space and I would imagine accessing some of the pumps and transducers would be very difficult.
$3K for everything described seems very reasonable to me.
Well, join the club. When we got our place in SWFL we dragged a 24' Four Winns IO down there. Didn't take long to learn it wasn't the right boat for the area. Dragged it back to Texas and sold it locally through craigslist/FB/boattrader.
There are lot a ways to vet scammers. I'm happy to share...
So far I haven't heard anything bad about the 2-speed transmission, dual prop and only lower-unit steering on those things. If the technology turns out to be reliable then I hope to see it move down into small displacement motors as well. Especially the 2-speed transmission. That could really...
