Brett, yours is a 43sc, not ec. EC stands for extended cockpit like the monopoly boat has. Just fyi

Good deal IMO.
I agree. I would take a 500EFI anyday.

And yes, the deals are killer. One of my buddies just got a killer deal on a 43', but it had a really gay paint job....... lol

What have you seen as the pro's and con;s of the EC vs SC. I know the EC holds like 8-9 people just in the cockpit, and the SC only holds 5-6, but is there that much more notioceable room in the cuddy area?

The EC and SC have the same cabins. Just a different cockpit and engine room layout.

Does one offer plenty of storage areas for fenders etc? Easier to work on motors? I can't fit 2 credit cards between my motors now.

More like 8-9 in an SC and 12-13 in an EC. As coolerGirl said, same cuddy, different cockpit, engine room. EC is cool IMO, but the motors are a fricking BIATCH to work on. SC,s awesome room to work on stuff. I could probably get a Yugo down in there if i tryed.
