Thanks. Yes we love it. I don't think there can be a better place to go boating.

My Signature pic is from the same area in BC.






anyway, back to the 230OV discussion.

I don't think 659 hours is high hours on a 15 year old boat. Heck - that only equates to a little over two hours per week usage. Mercruiser engines will go a lot longer than 500 hours before needing a rebuild but it depends on the use they get too. If it is constantly run wide open, that will be harder on the engine than low speed running.

It amazes me how people try to sell a boat/car/whatever and don't even care enough to clean it up first. My thought is that if it is filthy when you look at it, it has always been filthy as long as the current owner has had it. Someone who doesn't care enough to clean his boat when selling it has probably neglected it mechanically and in other ways as well. I wonder why the broker didn't tell the owner to clean the boat up???

I called the Skipper Buds in GH inquiring on a brokerage boat they have and the sales guy was going to send me information on it. Apparently, it was too much too much trouble for him to do his job. I never received the material and he never bothered to call me back...

Some great posts/answers to your thread.

I'd like to add that $17k might be on the high side too. Make sure you shop around (on the internet). I'm betting $17k can get you a little more boat/more room which will be needed with the kids.
