There are so many varables when it comes to boats its hard to say . I have seen a nice F31 go for 6k and a POS listed for 25k so its hard to say. Are you selling yours ? did the fuel burn Scare you away from it ?

Good glad to hear it , I know your getting ready for a long run . I would Clean the bottom befor you go unless its been done in trhe last month or so . you whant to make sure the water pick ups are clear and runing gear is clean so you burn less fuel and the engines will be under less load.

some one else when thru this just a bit ago and had lots of proplems due to pluged pick ups ( over heating)

I like your boats name !

yeah , my friends all tell me Im outta control so , it seemed like a good idea,
I cant do the bottom cleaning till spring, all out of avail funds at the moment, so Im gonna tough it ,
this will be the longest trip Ive taken in a while. Im kinda looking foward to it, but still a little nervous as I have never use this boat yet, its kinda a shake down cruise, I just made sure my sea tow account was up to snuff, and away I go, I have two friends coming with me, and hopefully all will be fine, the engines seem fine, and Ive run them at the dock for a while and they appear to be in good shape, but ya never know,
and Peter,,, thanks for the constructive input, I can always count on you for that,,,,lol
