If you are looking to spend around hundred, not sure what you have for a tow vehicle but this may be worth looking at.

The cabin will be smaller then a formula but it's also easier to work on the motors.

George is a pretty good guy he has helped me out with a couple of shows I have done in the area.

If i am looking a 05-07 what do you thing would be a good range in hours to be in when looking at them?

I have found some new 08-09 that have no hours for the 100k which is kinda nice.

20-30 per year, depending on where it was used, but the care and maintenance is just as important, no salt water for me.

Hours depend on how much you boat, money you want to spend and if you're worried about resale. I had a 33 Outlaw with 650 hours on 496 Mags (375hp) ran perfect when I sold it. Blue motors tend to need some type of work (head, headers, etc) around 500 hours so keep that in mind. I don't mind having a few hours on a boat, run it for a few years and not lose a ton of money when your ready for another.
