Thanks for the reply.
This really isn't my first boat. I have had an old tri-hull outboard (wouldn't go back to tri-hull, not safe in rough waters) and I currently have a 1979 Fiberform with 305 I/O. I'm just looking to find something that will fit my family a little more. I know what I'm looking for and not looking for in functionality (e.g. room to fish off the sides, USCG rated capacities) I'm just looking for feedback on how to avoid getting screwed by someone looking to dump their junk as I'm not a mechanic and some sellers live quiet a distance from lakes, as do I (unless I want to try it out on the Great Salt Lake, no thanks) since Stansbury kind of frowns on motor boats on the lake.
Keep the input coming. I'm hoping to look at a couple this weekend.
