Yup I see it now. What is the biggest complaint of the old hull? I know the new hull is a bit faster, anything else?

Faster and better handling. Maybe better resale....most people that know PQ will want the newer bottom.

Got it.

When I was looking for a PQ it was for the huge cabin (wife and 2 year old when I bought it) and the amenities. I wanted black power with closed cooling for zero maintenance.

What is important to you? Besides no salt, no in water storage, 502s or bigger.

Well I am not after the extra mph the new hull adds. I want the space but not a cruiser. Well of coarse it has to be a PQ too... But I have 2 kids ages 3 and 1 so like I said if it goes 70 with the older step or 78 with new is not important to me. I just don't want a boat that handles like chit and that I would hate...

I got ya.

You won't hate it....but you will hate not having a sink with 2 small kids. I think if you are patient you can find a boat with more amenities than that boat for similar money. It might also have a newer paint colors than that boat.

I've found the sink a bit too small. I will be replacing the 'bowl' sink with a cylinder style, deeper with a flat bottom. I have the sink, along with all my other add ons yet to be installed...

Headed to the lake this weekend...for a week...finally!!!

Funny, I agree, the sink is small and I planned to install a little bigger and deeper but got veto from my wife. She likes all the room in the storage area underneath and doesn't want a deeper sink. If I can't go deeper I don't want to go wider.....so it will stay.

Curious to see how yours turns out.

PS. I use the table all the time, you'll love it!
