They all have the hull to deck joint bonded like that. On the ones with the integrated transom, I don't think the transom is bonded like that, but the rest of the boat is. Can't get to that part of...

saw mark viii and had to check the thread. I had 2, a 94 and a 97. I'm looking at picking up another, but as a beater. DD'ing the tow vehicle sucks at $4.50 a gallon.

I always either step on that handle or step on the dash to get on the bow. Way quicker than going through the cuddy. When you're running the boat yourself you have to be able to get on the bow to...

Is the stock bore 4.466 or 4.470? I've seen both numbers, am I to assume the 4.470 is just rounded up from 4.466, or is 4.470 the actual bore?

No it's not. There is no global oil shortage, or gas shortage, or anything. And demand is not at a level that would warrant these prices.
