My boys that we would go out with were allways good to me, I never pay a bar tab they allways filled the coolers and would wash the boat down both before we went out and after back up on the lift. The girls with them and my wife did a good job of keeeping the inside clean because they knew the hours I would spend working on it and the cost they saw at the pump when I would fill the 500 gal. tank but I never asked for a dime it was more of a your money is no good with us from my friends.

Yes they are, funny story one of the first times I took out a way non boater and the frst stop was a fuel stop and I had two fills for just one big tank so I have two pumps running and we are cleaning and putting stuff away and the guy starts yelling that I must have a hole in the tank because he looked up when the pumps cut off at like 993.2 dollars each I looked up and said they were just below 1/2 when we started he allmost started to cry.

I had a buddy show up last year at the cottage for a weekend of boating with a 5 gallon jerry can full of fuel, I told him that it would probably be better to use it to start the bonfires, LOL!
Back on topic, have you considered a used "Statement"? there build quality seems pretty good? Cigarette or Nortech? For a regular fella like me, well, thats like asking:
"Scarlett Johansen" or "Kate Beckinsale" I personally cant imagine having either, but, I would be pretty happy regardless! LOL

Im with you scot. I could of bought a New OL, but I prefer the old school lay ups more than that new fengled crap. Thats why I bought the ol' 82 vintage hull. Its MUCH nicer. I actually took a 150 ft. Skater for a test ride........didnt like it. Nope, Im back where I belong.
