fuel economy

Thanks for the info. That gives me a lot more options to consider. I don't mind the greasy fingernails, mine are mostly that way anyhow. I don't have any problem with maintaining the engine it is the outdrive that always seemed to be daunting. Out here there is little to choose from. I have watched Craigslist and Boat Trader for a full year and have not seen one Seacraft closer than San Francisco, and we average over 250 boat listings per day on Craigslist in the Seattle area. I will probably have to head for Miami to find what I want unless I luck out on a California boat. I really want a CC for flyfishing. We have a pretty good supply of Searun Cutthroats in my neighborhood and they are fun on the fly. It is all catch and release, but that is all the fun anyway. My plan is to get a boat I can use here locally during the summer months and then tow to the Baja in the fall/winter to fish the Sea of Cortez. Simple and reliable is what I need.
