A true statement. Fuel is the cheapest part of boating. I go out with full tanks every time that I launch. Premium is cheaper on the trailer and I carry 260 gallons. Insurance is the real killer. Buy the boat, you only live once!

Thanks for all the info fellas. I think I am still going to do some more homework. Although that 29 OL was a nice and clean boat, I want to see what else is out there. Its at the end of our boating season and I would hate to jump the gun on this particular boat and find an even better one in a few weeks. The Old Lady wasn't fond of the Mint and Teal color combo either, she wants a boat with Purple in it, HAHA. I also want to find a marina down around where I am going to be boating to see if I want to keep it there or trailer it everywhere. My house can not hold a boat of that size on my property. Not really interested in Whipples, Hipples, Nipples, well maybe nipples, Blowers... Etc.

I moved from a single 496HO to twin 502s and paid not one bit of attention to gas consumption (no...I'm not one of the rich ones here). Twins are so nice I learned not to care. I can say with confidence I'll never go back to a single. And docking is a nice surprise too, the twin 33' was FAR easier to handle than the 28' single. You learn not to use the steering wheel when docking.
