No brainer unless the HP500 boat condition-wise is a turd.

Like everyone else said, HP500.
That being said, I think you are nuts to buy a boat now only to turn around and sell it a few months later to get what you really want.
Unless the boat is cheap, cheap, cheap you are going to take such a beating on it. I would wait and get the boat your really want first.

Thanks for posting this, has been a question in my head as well as I am buying my first ” go fast”.
I am 30 and coming from a car background as far as HP goes, however everything I have ever owned or worked on was EFI so I am comfortable with them.
My.bud had a older twin engine carbed jet boat and that is really my only experience with carbs and I can say as well you can imagine that was a NIGHTMARE!!!!!
So with my searches I have looked over any carbed boat as its just knowledge I don't have...not saying I cant or wont learn, just something that has scared me a bit on my searches.

I was wondering if people dont buy Carb boats when it comes time for resale..

I look forward to seeing your new ride, Tom. I'll just have to figure out what forum it will show up in. I'm pretty sure it won't start with an 'S'.
