+1, carbs are easier and cheaper to work on.

Don't worry about resale, too many different kinds of boaters.

I bet it shows up in the PQ forum first!

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

My comment was more directed about the market and not your personal ability to work on it.

just wanted to give an example of someone like myself who would NOT buy the boat cause of the carb option. But I am also aware most are not carb dumb like myself so there is plenty of market for ya to move it again.
