JLIMB, thanks for the interest, apologize I didnt get back to you sooner, and thanks to 1bayou for all his input, and I have to agree with his comments regarding the stability with the I/O - the boat is very stable, we had a 25 c-hawk before with armstrong bracket with twin outboards and it was not as nearly as stable as the Seacraft. As for maintenance, we have kept up with it and the engine has returned the favor, so I have no doubt it can last well beyond another 1000 hours. We should be taking the cover off her this week, and my partner Chip would be more than happy to show her to you (I may or may not be able to get down to the Cape) at your convenience. We are taking all reasonable offers as well so there is room to move. Send me your number via email to
sclark0716@yahoo.com, and we can talk. Thanks for interest, and look forward to speaking with you.
