Thanks for all of the information, I really appreciate it. I was wondering about that 16" deadrise in the middle. At the Sportsman's show they had the offshore priced at just over 23K, which included the 115 Honda. I was impressed with the boat, seemed strong. All of the fiberglass boats that would be comparable where priced somewhat higher. I am going to visit the factory and take it for a test ride. At any rate I am going to continue looking. Hoping to buy by late Spring. Once again I appreciate the help.

Steelhead Dude, I will check out your boat on the classifieds. I think I saw it when I checked last week, but it was more of a river boat with a jet, but I will check again.

So many boats, so little money, and a big need to get out on the salt.
