That actually brings up an interesting question, how many 6 seat outboard boats are there? I know of a couple like Skate's and the widened 32 but I don't think I've seen any others.

Spent a lot of time in that boat MLB when it had twin 300's. Great memories. Best of luck with it!

Four seats or 6 seats or only two. I don't think it would hurt resale if you only had 4 seats. I only have 2 seats in my Talon at the moment, and my cat has a 4x8 berth in the rear. It normally seats 5. check out what Mike Mears did with his 24 skater on Scream and Cry. I quit taking people for rides years ago. My .02 cents.

mlb you are spot on. I've only seen a couple. Hoping to see more and also want a full windshield. I know those are gaining momentum from people being wind beaten and not being able to talk. As others have said, it's all personal preference. If I don't check off my wife's list of must have's, I'll be in a bigger v. At least I've been able to delete the ports potti off the must have's.

You guys should try and see if Mercury has anymore shortblocks. I just bought 2 brand new ones and they came with a 1yr warranty from the date they are commissioned from a Mercury Dealer. Glad I know one!
If you can get a couple could build a pair of 15" mid ones.
