Erik,

I work in a lot of larger Cruisers, Inc boats. General advice, don't buy one. Particular advice, If the hull itself is balsa core, make absolutely sure the core isn't getting wet(find a good quality moisture meter and someone who knows how to use it.) Wet balsa disintegrates, fast. You end up with, not wet wood, but an empty gap between two very thin layers of glass. Mostly that leads to an unfixable and rapid disintegration of the hull.

I'm trying to post video of the Seacraft engine and the Bonanza engine...having trouble though...The Bonanza might be good for two or three seasons, which is what I need...until I'm in the market for bigger and better.
