Sydwayz--I'm in Mississippi. as for the 500 carb, I was hoping to stay with fuel injected for better starts (small reservior with lots of start and stops) and less fuel costs.

I'm heavily leaning towards wanting a 28. I've read lots of post from you guys and it seems that boats fall in the following order:28at first, 26 sonic second, and the 25at third.

ocdactive: just a figurative question. If you decided to get rid of your boat and put on the market in a month or two(out of boat season prime), what do you think you would ask and what do you think you would say, I'll just keep it. Your boat seems to be the year and size I've been shopping.

Agree. I love my HP500!

I was thinking fuel injected only till I found this PP, and I've been very pleased with the blue motor.

In your price range you are very unlikely to get a efi blue motor.....

Where are you located? I do know of a 25AT in MD that is for sale for $40K-ish. It does have an HP500 Carb motor which is almost overkill for that boat.

This one was in for sale in MD but the new owner just sent me these pics

Is that the one with no trailer brakes? If so, same boat.

He said on his test drive the seller took him across the Chesapeake in two foot chop at mid 70's.
