73K and thats cheap !!!!! Holy smokes Capn, thats a mortgage around here!!!(exagerating a little but not that much) Heres the way I look at it. My boat is nowhere the immaculate boat that most on here have redone. However I bought my 78 inboard for 6K repowered it etc and before this spring had a total of 13K in the boat. I have fished it fairly hard (approx.1700 "weekender hours since 95). Everywhere from Norfolk canyon (65nm east) to oregon inlet (90nm south). What does that have to do with the cost of tea in China?? Not much. But if I was to spend that much money on a boat I would have something much bigger than 23' and diesel powered. As I said my brother in law recently bought a 23 w/225 opti and it is a nice boat. I think he paid around 50K for it. Would I take his over mine??? Doubt it, mine rides better ,and its paid for. The 23 does not have the room my 23 does and the 25 is equal(room wise) to my boat.Thats what I was refering to advertising wise. Not quite sure how they measure them but those are just my observations. I know comparing inboards to outboards are apples to oranges but hey, you asked. Catch em up!!!(BTW-Nice website) Craig
