I've used mine since I bought it new in 1989 and the only thing replaced has been the fuel tank which developed a leak at the rear of the tank early last spring. I also replaced the bilge pump. Other than that it has been an excellent boat. I can't find anything to fault the boat. It has given me excellent service and is structurally very sound. Mine was made for twin engines and have been running a single engine since new. It handles the extra weight of the Honda well. It is a little lower in the back, but then again I carry 2 1000CC batteries in the rear side holes and have 40#'s of lead cannon balls and 2 Scotty electric down-riggers also on the stern. The scuppers keep the deck dry, a little water gets into the recessed drain along the deck, but never comes onto the deck. Really don't know what else to tell you. It is a great boat.
