ET, I want both.

Ironhead MN, you're not the guy trying to sell me that Striper at the Dome, are you?
That was exactly what he had told me.
What about the desalination unit, you know much about them?

baddawg, I am doomed.

Finegrain, I don't know how they ride, but we will find out soon. As for the price, they are below average for fishing.
Just from visual inspection they are way better built than the Arima, Bayliner Trophy, Palmer, and Campion for the same price range.
Not as solid/dense as the Whaler.
And very similiar to Grady.
I'll be doing a test drive soon.

Now it is a decision for the outboard or the inboard because I never owned neither one of this size. I was told or "Sold" on the believe that the larger 4 strokes engines are very difficult to service and maintain.
What are your opinions for the difference b/w the large inboard (Volvo) and the outboard (Yamaha/Honda 4 Strokes) of same size hp with respect to maintenance, service, efficiency, life expectincy, performace, or what ever?

Thanks.
