78 Seavette

[lost2a6]

I've found a 78 seavette that I have fell in love with. It has the I/O with a 454. Does anyone know how many of these were produced with the I/O. I read that there were about 20 with the outboards. I'm trying to convince the wife to get it, however I'll have to get rid of my Sceptre. From the looks of the pictures, it doesn't have much room between the engine box and the seats. What do you guys think? I don't fish that much, maybe twice a year, however it looks like I could still fish out of the vette if I wanted to. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
