There wasn't a whole lot of negotiation from asking price, but I paid to get what I wanted- outboard, bracket w/platform, k-planes, high deck, stand up bolsters, big sunpad, and the right color combo. It will be my last boat for a while (until I come to grips with $600/mo for a AT Savage down the road). I've been through 5 boats in 4 years trying to get the "right" boat for me, this is right for me now. I ended up with both powerheads, cowls, 2 mids and lowers. I kept imagining a 300xs on the back, but looking at all the hardware in my garage, it's hard to justify a repower right now.

I think you're going to find that boat is right at home on the Great Lakes. It will absolutely eat 2' - 3's and when it gets even rougher, you'll be amazed what she'll do. I can't tell you how many bigger boats couldn't keep up with my little 22 Progression when it got rough. And 23 years after it left the factory, I still haven't managed to break it!

I bet you wish you would've kept that one. Those pics made my stomach turn when I first saw them.
George- we saw mid 50's with 4 ppl and full fuel, but I haven't driven a pad bottom in a few years and didn't want to freak out the passengers. I didn't get back to MI until 3am yesterday, and as much as I wanted to run it and test props, the wife had other plans.
