Re: 18' seacraft priceing...
That's a very fair price. I paid $6500 for the same year boat and motor (mines a Johnson 115) almost a year ago. Everything is solid and it had all new awgrip, but needed a trailer.

Re: To T-top or not...that is the question
Chuck, if I can't get a folding one, I'll have to consider another option due to my storage arrangement and those will be limited, unless I want to keep the SC outside...which I don't :(

Re: Thru hulls?
Thanks FS.
Looking in the bilge last night, it doesn't look like I have enough room for the seacock on the overflow, just a little bit too tight. Thanks for the help.
