Do you think I should have someone come do a survey on the boat? I was reading that someone was having a survey done on a Forumula they were looking at. I have never bought a used boat. Is the survey usually done on older boats or should one be done on a 1 year old boat with 50 hours on it? Mike

Great ride and a great deal. Just understand one thing, this boat by far is superior to your other boat in two ways,
first - performance
second - maintenance, fuel, insurance, dock fees, etc...
Dont get me wrong, if you can swing it and its worth it to you, GO FOR IT. Great boat and I know you will enjoy.

second- Maintenance, I don't think it will be to much worse than now. The more frequent oil changes will just be a wash since I won't be burning $40-$70 in oil every time I use the boat. Fuel at 60mph is better than the old boat. Above 60mph, well this is the cost I will pay to join that club. Insurance is the worst of it, went from $2100 to $8300. Luckily no increase in dock fees since the boat is kept behind the house. It will cost me some money to adjust the bunks.
