I've had my SeaCraft for 13-14 years. She runs great - and I'm very happy with her. She is tricked out the way I want. And, I keep her in perfect running order - a family boat when needed and the perfect fishing vessel when the stripers come in. In the short-chop I play in - she eats it up.
I'm a little bored though.
Am playing with the idea of making a move to a slightly bigger boat that has a great ride like our beloved 23' SC. For the size, almost nothing beats it ( although there are some nice 23-25 boats that do, or come real close ). Of course, they will be a lot of $.
Having an outboard model of the Tsunami/Sceptre is appealing - the work of actually doing it - not so much. I've always heard mixed reviews. Personally, I don't like the i/o for maintenance BUT ( that's a big but ), there is no better ride than the i/o - the weight lets it sit just right. So, if the bracketed outboard provided the same ride, I'd consider it.
Just thinking out loud...
