I'm rather keen on your first suggestion.
You can have many seasons of economical trouble free boating. Have a look at anyone's engine hours scan sheet and see how little time they actually spend at high revs.

I'm probably in the minority but stock factory power is reliable and gets my vote every time.

Nice looking boat, congrats!

Don't know yet.. Just got it home from LOTO, took it out for a quick spin, then had to leave it in the driveway and head out of town for work for the next week

Congrats! I like the colors on your 290. I've kept mine relatively stock due to limited time to use it. 496HO is turn key boating when maintained right.
