LMAO.. I don't mind the "simple" upkeep. But the ridicules JIC maintenance? ggrrrr.. I love boating and the water,,, but..... Every time I take her out, when I come home... (no matter what time) I wash, de-salt, rinse the trailer, flush the motors, drain the headers, put a fan in to dry the cuddy and bilge out, then park into the shed where I have 6" play on each side, some time late PM. A quick (2 hour, ) hop to the islands, takes me 2 hrs of prep and 2 hours of putting her away. I don't have a support staff like some.. 
I have to do everything my self. Thus;; the canoe....

Add in that the pull from the shop to the water is just over and hour each way too. I am 4-5hrs of time with prep check, drive, and after clean up.

Don't understand the first part entirely...... I want to end up owning both type of boats but till that is a reality then a sport CC is what I want to live with for only owning 1 boat.
I did have a CC prior but it was a 23' flats with a single 115 on it and was built in 1979.....not plush, fast, or even fun really lol.

Thanks for the compliment. The boat runs great and I love the motors. They have warranty until end of 2019. Multiple reasons for rear section of t top. I have canvas enclosures with clear that zips into the canvas on the t top for winter protection. It creates a soft pilot house. It snaps to the back section of the t top. It adds xtra support to the t top for when seas are rough. Adds a place for standing passengers to hold onto. I built it out of alum before I hade all metal work powder coated. I designed it to be removable. It bolts to the upper rod holders and to the leaning post.

I want to use blue, Grey, and black color scheme with neon green high lights around some of the side paint.
Interior will be diamond stitched white vinyl with gray accents and a gray seatek flooring.

Be careful Nate. Price to build gets out of control to do it right. I bought the boat cheap. Don't want to admit how much is invested. I will take a loss. I wrote a check for 55k for the motors controls gauges steering and rigging. I have 15 k in electronics. I can go on and on. You get the point. I learned a ton. Buy it done and save. That is what I will do on the next one.

I am getting a break on a lot though. My buddy it the owner and is doing the wrap for me, Nick and the gang at a statement are helping me out as well with the interior aspect, and all the wiring, stereo, and lighting will be done by me and a good friend. Past that I dontnplan on doing much more.
